作为一名录像创作者，我通常会以一个局外人的身份周游世界。摄像机背后的人总是置身于镜头之外，透过取景器洞察世间万物，将看到的一切定格在画面之中。对于我来说，这种在旅行与拍摄中对生活的定格本身即是一个生活/艺术项目。那么，如果我将自己的生活框定为艺术，最终会拍摄出怎样的影像呢？

“

As a video maker, I travel through the world as an outsider. The person standing behind a camera is always outside, looking through the viewfinder, framing what she sees. This framing of life, traveling and filming, is for me a life/art project. If I frame my life as art, what will I film?

“

在自身经历的影响下，我会为特定的作品所吸引，也会被某些作品深深触动。这些年来，在参与各类展览并结识中国录像艺术家的过程中，我逐渐意识到中国当代录像艺术起源于两种具有互补性的冲动力，即“纪实性”冲动与“表演性”冲动。在从事录像工作之前，我曾作为行为艺术家进行过多年的创作，因此我对这两种冲动力所孕育的组合尤为敏感。我接触过的几位艺术家，包括李消非、李牧、方璐、周滔，都在其创作中展现出这些倾向。而他们的作品也为我带来了灵感，鼓励我进一步探索“纪实性” 与“表演性”相结合的可能性，以及艺术与生活是如何交织在一起的。

“

My own experience informs the work that I'm drawn to and the work that moves me. Through the years, as I attended exhibitions and met Chinese video artists, I came to the conclusion that Chinese contemporary video art comes out of two complementary impulses: documentary and performative. Because I was a performance artist for many years before I began working in video, I'm particularly sensitive to the combinations these two impulses can create. Several artists I have met, Li Xiaofei, Li Mu, Fang Lu and Zhou Tao, illustrate these tendencies. Their work has inspired me to look more closely at how the documentary and the performative can combine and how art and life are woven together.

“

我四处旅行、交友、布置展览，扮演着局外人与艺术家的双重角色。而在我自己的生活/艺术项目中，我作为一名表演者，将自己的经历框定为艺术，并就此以一种不同的方式关注我所体验过的一切。对我而言，摄像是一场旅行⸺一种使我得以行走于生活中、穿行于各色未知空间里的方法。我留心每一处细节，将日常生活中的表演记录下来，并畅想更加宏大的故事。

“

My personas are outsider and artist, traveling, making friends, installing shows. As a performer in my own life/art project, I frame my experience as art and by doing so, I pay attention in a different way to everything I experience. For me, filming is a journey, a way to walk through life, through unknown spaces. I notice details, document the performances of everyday life, imagine larger stories.
