實驗電影團體ReaRflex後照鏡主辦的實驗電影放映交流活動，本次由旅居荷蘭的藝術家曾莉珺本人親自呈現作品。曾莉珺擅長各種類比手工膠卷技法，為鹿特丹實驗電影團體Filmwerkplaats成員。
曾莉珺（英文：Lichun Tseng ）近幾年的創作媒材主要是16釐米膠卷和影像裝置。創作關注於事物的本質探討與生命經驗的深刻體會。藉由紀錄事物狀態之間的關聯性，反應出無以名狀的真實以及生命的全然性。相信深刻本自全然地投入，而事物本質之間的關係便會自然展現。希望在不斷地對事物進行思索與觀察下，以影像的視覺本質，呈現出一種不可言喻的詩意，狀態和全然性。
Lichun Tseng is a Taiwanese artist based in the Netherlands. In her works, she is interested in searching for the experience of the vital dimensions of life, absorbing and partaking in it, grasping its wholeness; in which exploration and reflective contemplation are profound mental drives. She approaches her research and practice mainly with 16mm film, installation, and performance in the last years. She is a member of Filmwerkplaats, an artist-run film lab in Rotterdam.

16mm | B&W | mute | 4’30 | 2012
以高反差的黑白膠卷紀錄澳洲原生植物──the grass tree的特質，借由膠卷獨特的語言與光影的呼應，呈現了具有詩意的視覺影像，以回應我對the grass tree的感受。他是個很獨特的植物，似草也似樹的外觀，極緩慢的生長速度以及長久以來與土地和人之間的關聯，讓我深受吸引。
他被稱為Xanthorrhoea preissii，原住民稱他為Balga。
This film is inspired by a plant native to Australia, the grass tree. I was attracted by the slow growth of the trees,their spectacular figures and the ways in which their existence connects the land, the plant and the people. High contrast black and white film was used to capture and document the movement of the grass tree, as a way to reflect their visual poetry.
The scientific name of the grass tree is Xanthorrhoea preissii, people also call it Balga.

變化是一種過程，起點也可以是終點嗎？有可以是無的一種嗎？ 無可以是有的一種嗎？所有的事物的關聯性能衍生出怎樣的生命意義和價值？藉由16mm膠卷的媒材特質，正片與負片，黑與白，探索實與虛，進與退，動與靜之間的不可言述的詩意，藉由影像呈現可見與不可見的一場探索，呼吸，與反省。
‘Change is a process, is the starting point equal to the end point? What if everything is in a flow, what meaning of value of life can be derived from the intercomnectedness of all things? Reflecting the subtle relationships between the flow of changing, awareness of being and observation of breathing through abstract and rhythmic moving images. Integrating and developing a poetic state of contemplative and meditative process and flow in between void and solid; moving and still; expanding and gathering; strength and softness.

靈感啟發自費爾南多．佩索亞獨特的個人式書寫觀察《不安之書》。以這本從未出版、書寫於 100 年前的里斯本城市指南為出發點，探索對時間不同的定義與闡釋。藉由對時間的不同觀點、時間的痕跡與流逝、時間與空間的錯置重疊，在過去與現在的對話中，創作一場影像詩歌。
Inspired by the personal observations of Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, and his hundred-year-old city guide of Lisbon. This film is an audio-visual investigation of time, a visual poetry researching different perspective of time, passage of time, time rift in experience, mind and space. A flow of the passage of time is created by a conversation and connection between the present and the past.

是誰在動？
在動的是誰？
我們如何開始、繼續和結束？
在可見與不可見中探索「之間」的探索過程：未知與無意識；實與虛；瞬間與永恆。
Who is moving?
How do we start, continue and end?
It is a search, research, and a process of the unknown and the unconscious; the full and the empty; the momentary and the eternal, which explores the space between the visible and invisible in reflection and connection.
shunyata

在空曠的天空中，一朵白雲逐漸消失。
Shunyata是指空性，這部作品反應著知覺與意念在不斷地變化和流動的狀態。
藉由 16 毫米影像媒材與類比聲波進行堆疊、建構和解構，以呈現深刻和感官以外的不同體驗。
作品不斷地轉化音像，使其混沌，喚起了深度冥想和永恆狀態。
Shunyata means emptiness.
This film reflects the streaming of consciousness as a continuous flow of change and transformation.
Shunyata is created by layering, constructing, and deconstructing 16mm film footage and analog waveforms into an immersive, sense transcending experience. Evoking a sense of deep meditation and timelessness through constant change and chaos.
In the empty sky fades a white cloud.
