朋友─瓦旦 Friend Watan

台灣 Taiwan │ 2013 │ 36min │陳界仁 CHEN Chieh-jen

行為藝術家瓦旦．塢瑪是陳界仁認識十幾年的朋友。在上一個計劃《幸福大廈 I》所搭建的場景，瓦旦僅存有的幾張照片與一本筆記本， 構成了這部「非傳記」、「非紀實」的影片。關於「過往」，無論它以何種形式殘存，某方面說，消逝是必然的。

CHEN has been friends with Watan Uma for more than ten years. Before he started filming, he asked Watan if he could see a picture of him when he was younger. A few days later, with a few pictures and a notebook in hand, Watan told him, "I could only find these. The rest are missing." No matter what remains of the past, in a certain respect, their disappearance is inevitable.
