The long take plays randomly
- 隨機播放的長鏡頭 -
這本書始於這樣的時刻:在一個無人的空間裡,只有光影和時間是眼前的風景。
有時候獨處彷彿是沒有劇情的漫長影像,我想像拍攝一個人的24小時,在頁面間以文字隨機播放片段,書的結構成為一個場所,可以透過不同的翻動方式看見內容。這樣的閱讀過程,像是在這個世界裡,我們有時尋求光,有時也面向陰影。
(閱讀的時候可以嘗試變換角度、或透著燈,也許會有光的驚喜)

This book is about a kind of moment when you are in a space, and there are only light, shadow and time with you.
Sometimes being alone is like being situated in a long and slow film without any plot. So I imagine that I took a 24 hours long video of someone (maybe me), and then randomly put these fragments into this book. You can read the content by different ways of flipping through the pages. This kind of reading experience is somehow like our pursuing of light and facing of the shadow in daily life, in the world.
p.s: Maybe you can try reading this book in different angles, or under different kinds of light. It may give you some surprise.
