起動滯留落下再起

身體如同存放自我意識的空間。

這部片最初以觸覺作為發展，拾起各種情緒於路途中落下的痕跡，不斷遊走、停留、交錯，並藉由失重的動力驅使身體與記憶對話，重新感受「內」與「外」的相互影響，由此回望自身漂浮不安的狀態。

當最後一聲樂音響起，制約的意識被喚醒，在經歷這一切後，最終是獲得了往前的動力？抑或發現自己就是推著石頭的薛西弗斯？​

​

The body serves as a vessel that stores self-awareness.

This film initially develops through the sense of touch, picking up traces of various emotions left along the journey. It constantly moves, pauses, and intersects, driven by the power generated through shifting of balance, prompting a dialogue between the body and memory, re-experiencing the mutual influence of "internal" and "external," thus reflecting on one's own state of floating unease. As the final note of music fades away, the consciousness of constraints is awakened. After experiencing all of this, is it ultimately gaining the drive to move forward? Or is it discovering oneself endlessly trapped in a cycle like Sisyphus?

Director Statement

​

This film was completed during a Dance Film workshop. As a filmmaker, I warm up with the dancers every day, something I had never tried before. It was the first time I had such a solid feeling of my own physical condition. During this process, I followed the dancers in a movement of shifting weight, using the momentum generated by swinging and transferring weight to create a cycle of "initiating-holding-falling-rising" movements. This movement may be a basic exercise for the dancers, but I felt that it resonated with my inner state at that time. Therefore, I decided to develop the entire film based on this movement, connecting external actions with internal emotions, hoping to confront my own contradictions and fears.
