Artist statement for L.A Driving:

'This video records my experience with LA's transportation. Living in LA, traffic problem is the most irritable experience in people's daily life. I specially spared one day to make a journey fully experiencing the tiresome transportation, in which I traveled with videotaping by subway from 6:00A.M to noon, and then continuing the rest journey by transferring buses as main transportation till midnight. The video that I took was clipped through transmission to reach a sense of rhythm, which may be the life rhythm longed for by people living in LA. Every city reflects its own rhythm, while the rhythm of LA is monotony.'

 

作品〈L.A Driving〉藝術家自述:

「這個錄像是通過我在LA居住了半年中所體驗的感受,就是我每天都在與交通做鬥爭。在LA,大部分人認為交通是生活中最煩躁的事。而我用了一天時間體驗LA的交通,我從早上6點開始,坐上地鐵在整個城市中穿行至中午,我便換乘汽車到處轉至夜晚。並用錄像記錄一些過程。我通過花一天的時間充分的體驗了交通的煩躁。錄像的剪輯通過變速來到達一些節奏感。也許這就是生活在這裡的人所嚮往的節奏。每個城市都有自己的節奏,而LA的節奏就是單調。」
