The film was completed while I was a student at the Royal College of Art. At the time I was very interested in direct animation. Influenced by artists such as Len Lye, Stan Brakhage and Norman Mclaren, I was making abstract paintings on 16mm film and experimenting with the visual presentation of different materials.

2022 - Unnamed Road | Video Link (Trailer)


Unnamed Road | 未名道



The film Unnamed Road takes the road and fate as its theme, and divides the chapters with earth, water, fire and wind. The road is under each person's feet. It is always in the process of becoming, changing and unfolding. The road has not yet reached the end, so it is called ‘unnamed’. In the film, the four elements express the various encounters of individual life in the world. At the same time, these four things are also in the context of the contemporary technological age, forcing human beings to search for the connection between themselves and nature.

影片《未名道》以道路与命运为题,并以地水火风分别为各个章节。道即是每人脚下的道路。道路永远在生成、变化与展开之中。道路尚未抵至终点,故曰未名。地水火风四大在影片中表白着个体生命在世间的种种际遇。而此四物同时也在当下技术时代的语境中,促逼着作为肉身的人去寻索自身与物的牵连。
