錄像
林子寧、李佳泓
梅濟民,臺灣白色恐怖政治受難者及作家,身囚於炙熱的臺灣南島,依靠著書寫寒冷的中國東北懷鄉文學而渡過了獄中歲月,並在出獄後,將文稿交付出版社而獲得社會極大的回響,其著作反映了當時許多離散來臺的外省民眾的心境。作品由兩支互相對照的錄像構成,以創作者彼此交替導與演的方式製作兩支錄像,一支以梅濟民的生平出發,一支以其文學作品出發,互為表裏,多面向的去探討梅濟民不同身分虛實交錯上的展現,錄像於綠島拍攝,聚焦於生平與作品中跟綠島的連結出發,在綠島獄中時身體存在與精神存在的座標上的殊異,兩者對照又依存的關係,並從中反映了當時的政治環境以及文化。
About Mei Ji-Min:Contrast (The One Who Vomit Words、Housecleaning)
VideoLin Tzu-Ning、 Lee Chia-Hung
Mei Ji-Min, a political victim of the White Terror and an author, relied on writing nostalgic literature featuring China’s freezing Northeastern region to pass his time in imprisonment on the scorching southern island. After he was released, he entrusted his manuscripts to publishers and received tremendous feedback with his works, which reflected the diasporic state of mind shared by many Chinese mainlanders in Taiwan. This work comprised two mutually referencing videos. One video featured the life of Mei Ji-Min, and the other was based on his literary works; therefore, the two videos supplemented each other and multifacetedly explored Mei’s identity in its real and fictional manifestations. The videos were filmed on Green Island, and focused on how Mei’s life and his works connected with the island as well as the contrasting yet codependent relationship stemming from the disparities between the geographical locations of his body and where his spirit longed for.
