蕨戀

4K, color, sound, 17 min.

六位男生走入臺灣中海拔森林和蕨類親密接觸。他們與蕨類交歡繾綣,感受對方的氣息和膚質,以身 體而非語言與植物建立情感。只有當我們樂於延展我們的幻想,我們才可能漸漸感悟到萬物更復雜的存在,也才能讓我們自身學會更智慧的在地球上生存下去。

Six men walk into Taiwan’s forest and engage in intimate contact with ferns. They attempt corporeal connection rather than linguistic communication. Only when we are happy to extend our imagination can we come to appreciate complex existences of all living beings. Only then will we learn to live more intelligently on this planet.
