our long distance under covid-19 後疫情時代 我們的遠距離|animation short film
OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://our-long-distance.mystrikingly.com/
Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020, couples around the world were separated from each other and cannot get together due to lockdown policies and visa issues. I was one of the multinational couples. My daughter and I were separated from my unregistered husband for a year. Because of the epidemic, we completely started a virtual and online life to maintain our relationship.
The "love is not tourism" project gathering the power of the Instagram and Facebook communities, with the hashtag #loveisnottourism, to link up couples all over the world who are separated from the two places for the same reason. Use the keyword #hashtags and share your love story, hoping to convey their needs to the government, and hope that the government will pay attention to this issue.
Since I am a digital artist, when I saw this event on the Internet, I thought of making an animation creation. I want to record the couples who separated the two places under the epidemic in the past year as the main roles and invite multinational digital art creators.
The performers do online multinational creations and gather the power of social media to disseminate them. They will record the moving moments of lives as a person pursuing love under the epidemic and hope to inspire everyone who is fighting for the epidemic alone in every corner of the world.
後疫情時代,我們的遠距離 在 2020 年新冠疫情的壟罩下,全球的跨國情侶因各國鎖國政策與簽證申請問題,必須分隔兩地無法相聚。 提案的我也是其中之一的跨國情侶,我與我的女兒也跟自己尚未登記結婚的丈夫分隔兩地長達一年,我們因為新冠疫情,徹底地開始虛擬數位的疫情生活來維繫情感。 「love is not tourism」計畫利用 instagram 與 facebook 網路社群上的力量,藉由#loveisnottourism 的關鍵字,串聯起世界各地因為同樣原因而分隔兩地的異國情侶,大家不約而同在社群媒體上標上關鍵字#hashtags,分享自己的愛情故事,希望藉此傳達將他們的需求傳達給政府,並希望各國能重視這個議題,在不久的未來開放申請伴侶簽證。
由於自己是數位藝術的創作者,因此在網路上看到這個活動時,便發想起一個動畫創作,欲以近一年來在疫情之下分隔兩地的情侶們為創作主軸,邀約跨國的數位藝術創作者做線上跨國的展演,並利用社群媒體的力量散播, 將 2020年疫情生活下,身為人追求愛的動人時刻紀錄下來,更希望能鼓舞在世界每一個角落獨自為疫情奮鬥的每一顆心。 如同武漢封城日記作品郭晶說的一句話: 「我想成為一個連結點, 希望可以和更多的人建立連結,一起行動。」 因為疫情, 他們錯過了聖誕節、情人節, 以及彼此的生日, 甚至趕不及自己孩子的出生。 原本就相聚不易的遠距離愛情, 在病毒侵襲的這一年,又顯得更艱辛了。 但即使隔著千里距離, 愛仍是讓他們勇敢的原因。

如同武漢封城日記作品郭晶說的一句話:
「我想成為一個連結點, 希望可以和更多的人建立連結,一起行動。」
It is the first time to try the digital tablet and keep the jumping hand-drawing stokes to express the mental disturbance because of the depression from pandemic life. I use my video poetry to record the regular life during these two years. For example,
而這次的動畫創作,我嘗試用自己不熟悉的平板電繪去保留質樸的筆觸感,用騷動的筆觸跳動呈現被疫情壓抑內心騷動不已的情緒。我用這些影像詩記錄下來這兩年來的疫情下的日常生活,像是:
1. 保持社交距離--我們的距離-心的距離VS.實際地理距離的呈現
2. 人人戴口罩、量體溫、酒精消毒的畫面
3. 分隔兩地的戀人透過兩個手機擁抱
4. 封城的生活下,大家都待在隱形的監牢裡
5. 原本熱鬧的城市空無一人,街道上只剩下外送機車穿梭在空蕩蕩的街道
6. 遠端工作/線上視訊的生活 例如Zoom meeting眾人頭的畫面
7. 空蕩蕩的機場,望著常常被取消的航班表。大家穿着像太空人的防護服,分不清楚是醫院還是機場
8.大排長龍的隊伍搶買口罩,口罩瘋狂漲價
9. 隔離中的人 從大樓窗外的天橋上幫她慶生 捧著蛋糕 跟她說生日快樂
10.每天下午兩點收看陳時中記者會宣布每日確診人數
- social distancing: our mental distance V.S. physical geometric distance
- Wearing a mask, temperature measuring, alcohol sanitizing
- Two lovers hug virtually through their own phone
- During the lockdown, we all live in an invisible prison
- The city used to be crowded and busy, but now there is almost nobody on the street except for the delivery people.
- Work from home and online meeting life
- Empty airport and the canceled flights on the information board. People wear protective clothing just like astronauts, you can not distinguish it is airport or hospital.
- The huge line for purchasing masks and sanitizers.
- People during quarantine can only celebrate their through online video chat or friends stand outside of the hotel to say happy birthday through the window in the far distance.
- Watching TV news reports to know how many confirmed cases every day
