紫罗兰Director's statement分集剧情
《紫罗兰》表达了我对于一个女性艺术家的创作与限制的思考。我的灵感来源于 Laura Mulvey 提出的电影概念 — 男性的凝视。她认为在视觉艺术作品中，女性被描绘成男性制作者、男性角色、男性观众欲望上渴望看到的形象。但如今不像早期的电影产业，越来越多的女性在电影制作中担任重要职务。因此，女性有更大的权力去决定她们被呈现的形象。就我个人而言，以美学为前提，我也能从充满欲望的女性形象中感到渴望与愉悦。我认为刺激观众的欲望对于一个艺术作品来说很重要。另外，在悉尼艺术学院学习期间，我体会到艺术家因受限于自身的创造力而挣扎。如果以艺术为生，他们将面临商业化的创意产业对创造力的破坏。Violet (2019) expresses my thinking about artistic limitation and creation of a female artist. I am inspired by a film concept, the male gaze, by Laura Mulvey. This concept demonstrates that visual arts depict women in a way that male filmmakers, male characters and male spectators sexually desire to see. Unlike the early stage in film industry, more and more women play important roles in filmmaking, so they get more power to decide on how one woman depicts another woman. Personally, I feel desirable and pleasure to watch a woman being sexually portrayed on screen in the premise of aesthetics. I also think that motivating viewers' desire is crucial and essential for an artwork. Besides, studying at Sydney College of the Arts, I realize how artists struggle to survive with the constraint of self-creativity. If they live by making art, they would also struggle with the destruction of creativity from the commercialized creative industry.
