IDFA DocLab Competition for Digital Storytelling The portraits of the smiling young people on the photo wall could give you the impression that everyone is having a great time, but the South African artist Aluta Null doesn’t go along with all that pretense. In this interactive AR experience, winner of the XR Award at the Fak’ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival earlier this year, Null explores the darkness and complexity of mental illness, mental health issues and drug addiction. It’s very hard to explain, let alone understand, what it feels like when your head is falling apart. This is the reason for Null’s choice of ghosts as the main characters. Their elusive state between life and death focuses attention on the confusing or frightening emotions that mental health problems can bring. Despite the extremely serious subject, Null doesn’t shy away from black, absurd humor, and the effect is both supportive and relieving. What’s the best choice of alcohol to wash down your pills with, and will it kind of go with your Froot Loops? 源自:

IDFA2020入围的360短片,蔡明亮在南非住烂尾楼的同好艺术家,不过他们还得面对跟房主的博弈。我觉得一间房里同时有整洁温馨的床铺,床头柜和破烂的窗框墙壁,反而是一种风情呢。

other title: 货柜悲歌
1794年葡萄牙奴隸船沉沒,221名奴隸溺斃,活下來的人被運到南非開普敦;今日世界,鐵皮貨倉底下,貨櫃繼續裝運「人」:為貴族服務的過勞女僕、為運動品牌服務的童工、從事色情按摩的女性性工作者、被消費主義拘禁的大眾。時至今日,「人」與貨品仍舊沒有太大差別。 透過紀錄片視角,《貨櫃悲歌》以紀念221名犧牲的奴隸為名,用VR180窺探貨櫃內被搬運的芸芸眾生。社會暗面不斷變形,不變的是我們仍繼續被殖民著。

集装箱这个方盒子选得很好,既传达了作品立意,也减轻了360表现难度。故事也是很动人的,记得以前还看过现代捕鱼奴隶的360纪录片,我们的幸福生活就是建立在别人的悲惨之上的!
