《阿拉伯婆婆纳》
4K高清单频录像，彩色立体声，15分38秒，2023
阿拉伯婆婆纳，也被称为波斯婆婆纳，来自位于西亚及东欧交界处的高加索地区。追溯至中世纪的记载也无法判定她最初的准确来源。在风的携带和人类的迁徙中，这种植物慢慢地从高加索地区蔓延至欧洲、英国、亚洲、中国…
在中国它被列入为外来入侵物种，首次发现并记载于1933年，采自湖北武汉。这种植物也生长在艺术家祖母的旧宅旁，直至房屋拆毁，家园成墟，艺术家发现这种伴随她童年记忆的蓝色小花仍在原来的地方盛开。
在这部半虚构的影片中，艺术家将祖母因为工业建设迁移至武汉青山、成为当地第一代移民的旅程和阿拉伯婆婆纳的旅程编织在一起。透过重组不同时期和国家地区对于阿拉伯婆婆纳的记载，以植物形态学的描述方式构成了旁白主线，同时与画面中人物身体特写与在沿途风景中游走的视角相互嵌套，产生了微妙的差异与关联。
Veronica persica
Single channel 4k video, color&stereo channel, 15’38’’, 2023
Veronica persica is native to the Caucasus region, located at the border of Western Asia and Eastern Europe. The ancient records dating back to the Middle Ages have failed to establish their exact source. This plant gradually spread from the Caucasus to Europe, Britain, Asia, and China... carried by the wind and migrated by human behavior.
In China, it is listed as an invasive foreign species. It was first discovered and recorded in 1933 and harvested from Wuhan, Hubei. This plant also grew next to the artist's grandmother's former house. After the house was demolished, the artist walked through the ruins of the old house, and unexpectedly found this little blue flower that had accompanied her childhood memories, and still blooming where it once was.
In this semi-fictional film, the artist interweaves her grandmother's journey as a first-generation immigrant to Wuhan's Qingshan due to industrial construction with the journey of Veronica persica. By reorganizing records of Veronica persica from different periods, regions, and countries, the main narrative thread is formed by the morphological description of this plant. The perspective of wandering through close-ups of the figure's body and the landscape along the way creates subtle differences and connections.
