Refractory 不应期

Moving Image

This short film continues the story ‘The Little Prince’. The story follows the old prince and the little prince as they head out on a journey on the eve of mankind's farewell to the world. They meet different people, faced with the fact that mankind has to go, everyone reflects on their own mistakes, letting go of desires and sincerely apologizing to the world as if next time things will be different.

This is a fable about androgenic hormones. Men are very used to being apologetic, but due to their limitations, tend to repeat the same mistakes. Following a climactic revelation, when perilous circumstances arise, individuals are compelled to acknowledge their missteps and offer genuine apologies. However, it remains uncertain whether such sincerity will persist.

The work "Refractory" employs an installation-based approach to assembling film, with a particular focus on the dynamic interplay between material and spatial context. The film features numerous artifacts. The characters are portrayed as props within the film. The characters are symbolic and were performed in a minimalist style. This results in a visual experience of film that can be perceived as an installation.

 

 


短片延续了《小王子》的故事,在人类离开前夕,老王子和小王子踏上了旅途。他们相遇了不同的人,在难以挽回的结果面前,每个人都反思了自身的过错,消解了欲望,真挚的向世界表达歉意。似乎再来一次,就会真的变好。这是一个关于荷尔蒙的寓言——男人很爱道歉,又总是由于自身局限再度犯错。巨大的高潮后,当危险来临时人们终于意识到了错误,真诚的表达歉意,但是这样的真诚会持久么?

《不应期》这部影像作品采用了类似装置的构建思路,即物质和空间的关联。其中出现了大量的人造物,角色造型比较符号化,也采用极简的表演,是一种道具化的人。这些物质又通过影像来展开空间,形成装置化的影像。
