Video/Film
A Single Life in Multiple Lives depicts a dystopian realm, featuring a chain reaction in relation to the concepts of cosmic nihilism, evolution, human behavior, and impermanence. Chen Xi incorporates fictional stories and epic narrative structures to reveal his views on metaphysics and philosophy. Characters in the film appear and merge. Two children next to a bonfire, dissipating smoke. A bell signals new life. A green spider disappears into a shell. Life forms blur into one: a robotic jellyfish, a person walking. This fantastical narrative strips away the idea of a single protagonist, unifying all creatures in a cycle of life. Title:《A Single Life In Multiple Lives》 Artist: 陳熹 《A Single Life In Multiple Lives》描繪了一個反烏托邦領域,其特徵在於與宇宙虛無主義、進化、人類行為和無常等概念相關的連鎖反應。陳熹融合了虛構故事和史詩敘事結構,揭示了他對形而上學和哲學的看法。錄像中的人物出現並合併。兩個孩子在營火、消散煙霧的旁邊。鐘聲標誌着新生命。一隻綠色的蜘蛛消失在一個殼裡。生命模糊成一體:機器人水母、一個人走路。這個奇幻的敘事消除了一個主角的想法,統一了生命週期中的所有生物。
