Longing 《夜長夢多》

Fully contributed by Tracey N.

In the first half of 2020, I was on study exchange in Finland. Unsettled in how and where I position myself, regular documentation was an integral part of my journey. Reflections sought expressions. Longing contains my honest observations, intimate fragments and self-conflicts. The narrative body of Longing integrates different degrees of the documentary, experimental imaging and literature – prose that is nonlinear, with no pre-determined manifestation or object of study. It is a visual poem, or a kind of whispering, constituted by the rhythm of reading, or a reading experience between images and literature.

​在二零二零年的上半年，我在芬蘭留學。對我來說，那是一段內外動盪不安的時間。我透過書寫和錄像，把一些難得的情緒和風景記下，以此觀察世界，觀照自己。《夜長夢多》可說是一些所見所聞，一些絮語，一些內心掙扎，它們都是誠實並赤裸的。至於作品內容，《夜長夢多》是一份揉合紀錄性、實驗性和文學元素的作品。它像隨筆般不以線性結構作為主軸，沒有固定的情緒表現和記錄主體。它可以看成是一篇詩集或內心呢喃；它以閱讀文本的方式和節奏編織以成，打開文學與影像的共同閱讀經驗。
