《丟失的一味》

在此次駐留中，我計劃製作影像《丟失的一味》。作為一個耐辣程度極差的人，我將以重慶的標誌「辣」為切入點， 以戲謔的視角訴說一個不能吃辣的人在如今辣味佔主流的飲食文化中與朋友們的「格格不入」，去探尋辣味如何成為自己成長中缺失的那一味——我不吃辣的原因，回溯母親在我成長中單方面為我塑造的飲食習慣。我將從個人角度出發，探究食物在成長中為自己帶來的喜悅和失落，進而探討中國孩子成長中父親角色典型的缺席狀態。 

《恐高症》

在《恐高症》中，我將以重慶獨特的地理特徵和著名的長江索道為引子，以「俯瞰重慶」的影像與九龍坡區老街的影像結合，回憶我的童年，以及父親帶幼時的我乘坐濟南千佛山索道的往事，探討以孩童的身份意識到生命本質的孤獨和離散的殘酷性，和對未知的恐懼，以及安全感的消失。

<The Lost Flavor>

I plan to create video work The Lost Flavor. I will focus on the spicy food, which is the symbol of Chongqing city, as a people who cannot eat food spicy. I want to discuss the feeling of incompatible with my friends absurdly when we were ordering in the restaurant, just because I don’t eat hot food. I moreover want to explore my dietary habit formed by my mother. This work will center around my happiness and sadness brought by food, further to explore the father’s absent in typical Chinese children growth.

<Acrophobia>

In my work Acrophobia, I will utilize the unique mountainous geographical features of Chongqing and famed landscape in Chongqing: Yangtze River Cableway, connecting with my memory, recalling my father bringing me to take the ropeway in my hometown Jinan when I was a kid. I plan to take the moving images of taking Yangtze River Cableway, assisted with street views of old streets in Jiulongpo area in my video. This work is to exam how I became an adult having acrophobia, as well as the disappeared sense of security, and I realized the cruelty and loneliness of the essence of our life, as a child.
