《龙年往事》 简介

　　这部短片起源于马格里特的一幅作品，名为《无生源说》，而马格里特的这件作品的灵感又来源于赫胥黎著名的小说《美丽新世界》，而《美丽新世界》又与《一九八四》和《我们》共同为反乌托邦三部曲，探讨了人类社会不同的发展历程。而中国在我出生以来的这三十四年便以对应了这样的发展情况。

　　两年以前的中国龙年之初，我应一本经济杂志《中经评论》CHINA Economic REVIEW 设计龙年一月刊封面，要求是以艺术家的视角对中国新的一年作一个预测，于是便有了片中二龙相关镜头的图像，而此片完成却是在今年所以这部作品既是从预测开始，同时又是对过去的时光的回顾。这不仅与我生活的未来相关，也与瞬间成为历史的昨天相连，我们置身其中，过去的所思所想以及经历的一切皆为历史，而我，以是主动意识的去经历这一切!

　　马格里特的作品名为《无生源说》，意思是一切的生命体皆为非生命体进化而来…… 身体承载着灵魂，而在今天这样一个快速变迁的时代，我们的意识，经验，乃至灵魂又从何而来?

　　 A brieffilm synopsis in English

　　This short film originates from one of Magritte’s paintingnamed The Spontaneous Generation. It was inspired by Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, whichcomposed the Dystopia Trilogy along with Nineteen Eighty-Four and Мы, exploringthe different development progresses of human society. However, when it comesto China, things corresponded with such situation during the 30 or 40 yearssince I born.

　　At the beginning of Dragon Year 2 years ago, I was invited by an economic magazine CHINA Economic REVIEW to design the cover for January issue, requiringmaking prediction of this new year in China from the view of an artist. Thus,there came the images of 2 dragons in this film. But it is till this year hasthe film been completed so that it started from forecast, and was a review of thepast time as well. It is related with my future life and also connects with thepast in which a moment turned to be eternal and this is the times of our lives,the past thoughts and experiences are waiting to be history, but I’m the person who goesthrough these things initiatively!

　　Magritte’s work is named The Spontaneous Generation, which means all thecreatures develop from nonliving objects… The body carries the soul. But in therapid changing world today, where do our consciousness, experiences, and evensouls come from?
