Originally an invited contribution by HKIFF, the piece is Linda Lai's renewed understanding of Godfrey Reggio's "The Qatsi Trilogy." What is experimental about it? Can cinema stand alone as critique of a prevalent human condition? 受2024 香港國際電影節約稿,黎肖嫻重讀三十幾年前開始接觸的烈治奧的文明末世的沉思 --「生活三部曲」。時代變了,今天看這三部曲,為何?

A pictogram is a form of knowledge; a pictogram that reconstructs another existing work is the stretching of the epistemological potential of a work. In the pictogram exercises presented at “The Ventriloquists … Thinking Narratively,” the reading and re-reading of Calvino’s The Invisible Cities combines the methods of music scoring, cartography, story-boarding and chronology-making, each with its own conceptual emphasis in presenting pictures of realities. Here, one pictogram offers glimpse of these concepts. 解構式的圖形是知識的具體表現;重塑已存在的作品的圖形是對現有作品的知識能量的擴展,同時也是對班雅明的「作者作為生產者」的想法的一種回應,關注個別的作如何站立於一個時代的技術生產當中。這裡以一個創作為例。
