影像作品《裂隙岩》关注于图像/文本/记忆之间的关系。作品中的部分图像选用了曾经的越狱者"徐洪慈"平反后回到苦役所在地拍摄的记忆之旅。在用这批图像完成了拼贴作品《读图》后，我将19年追寻徐的逃亡路线中所拍摄的影像资料与我自己对于过往记忆的经验并致在《裂隙岩》里。作品中个体生命经验的再现退居为背景，文字与图像作为召回记忆的介质如何的互为作用成为了叙述的主要线索。影片中的图像记录了广袤的地质景观，也记录了近在咫尺的记忆痕迹。而文本，被摄者书写在图像后的与我作为作者所叙述的，则试着将图像带离对于记忆问题的感性认识。当我们确认记忆的不可重构后又如何从时间的维度去认识历史叙述的缺憾则成为了在影片中的另一条线索。

The video work "Into the Slit " focuses on the relationship between image, text and memory. Some of the images in this work were selected from a trip down memory lane taken by former prison escapee Xu Hongci after his vindication and returned to the location of former labor camp. After finishing the collage work 'Picture Reading' with these images, I intertwine the video footage taken while following Xu's escape routes in 2019 with my own experience of past memories in 'Into the Slit '. In this work, the re-enactment of individual life experiences recedes into the background, and the interplay between words and images as a medium of memory recall becomes the main thread of the narrative. The images in the film documented the vast geological landscape and the traces of memory that are almost within reach. The text, written by Xu behind the pictures and narrated by me as the author, attempts to take the images out of perceptual awareness of memory issues. Once we confirm the irreconstructibility of memory, how to acknowledge the absence of historical narrative from the time dimension becomes another filmic thread.
