作品闡述
金色之名
耿雪 /泥塑電影短片，多屏影像及現場裝置 /尺寸可變
影像開頭呈現了一個黑白的世界，黑與白是殘酷也是幽默，是真實又是幻念，是人間也是隔世。故事情節用泥土塑造了人物，象徵著那些不可回避的困境和磨難，故事的脈絡則暗示著人必須主動面對林林總總的問題和現實。隨著時間的推移影像中逐漸出現了金色，這金色是一種象徵，象徵著理想、願望、希望，它是一種強大的召喚感和誘惑力，在黑與白的現實中指引方向。然而金色同樣潛藏著慾望和潛伏的危險，那麼這種明亮是美好還是陷阱?影像最後是全片的昇華，揭示出生命初始與輪迴的關照，生老病死是人類命運無法逆轉的宿命，也是人類進化與更疊的規律。與此同時，配合幕墻影像存在的裝置散落在螢幕周圍，螢幕嵌在雕塑裏被安置在地面上，金色世界裏是翻滾著的人物，仿佛被放置在金色“臍帶”裏，觀眾低頭觀看時如同在井又窺見生命之泉，這充滿魔幻的體驗感加強了命運的感知。
The Name of Gold
Geng Xue / Clay Sculpture Filmlet，multi-screen imaged，and installations / Dimension variable
The video begins with images of a black and white world. The black and white colors symbolize cruelty and humor, reality and illusion, earth and heaven. In the story, characters are made of clay, symbolizing the unavoidable difficulties and hardships in life. The story line implies that people must take the initiative to face all kinds of problems and the reality. As time goes by, the golden color appears, which symbolizes ideality, desire and hope.“The Name of Gold” is a powerful summon and temptation, pointing out the direction in the black-and-white reality. However, there is also hidden desire and lurking danger. Is the brightness a blessing or a trap? The end of the story is a sublimation of the theme, revealing the start of life and the concept of reincarnation. Life and death are the irreversible fate, and also the natural law of human evolution. In terms of installation, the projecting devices are scattered around the screen, which is embedded in the sculpture and placed on the ground. On the screen, characters are rolling in a golden world, like fetuses in a golden"umbilical cord". The viewers look down at the screen, like peering into a well to find the fountain of life. The illusory visual experience highlights the perception of fate.
