重構破碎凝視 Broken View

魔術幻燈是一種早期光學裝置，將人工著色的玻璃底片置於透鏡與光源前，投放成魅惑人心的美麗幻影。此技術在殖民年代為宣傳服務，既隨殖民者與教會深入非洲殖民地，成為教化蠻夷的利器，亦形塑起歐洲人觀看與理解遠方他者的視角。影片層疊拼貼多種影像，演繹百餘年來看與被看的歷史，顯影上下其手的權力痕跡。

翰納斯．維浩斯崔特：「美學體驗與殖民意識形態殘響間的張力是這部影片的核心。透過拼貼的聯想，影片試圖從破碎的視角來描繪殖民者的凝視，以及此視角如何跨越時間持續存在，影響我們看待、思考和談論過去的方式⋯⋯或許唯一能夠展示這些影像的方式，便是將它們置於詩意空間中，讓這些影像呈現出拍攝者在現實中的壓迫。我感覺我必須在最初就將影像和文字結合，不把蒙太奇視為電影製作過程的最終階段，而是作為起始——以蒙太奇作為一種書寫的方式。」

A poetic essay film on the colonial gaze and the magic lantern. This early type of image projector was used in Belgian colonial propaganda, showcasing the good works of the Church, State, and industry. Lantern projections were an effective way of selling the colonial project to a somewhat reluctant Belgian public.

‘This tension between aesthetic experience and the reverberations of colonial ideology is central to the film. In composing an associative fabric of assemblages and collages, the film attempts to map the colonial gaze from a broken view, how it persists across time and shapes the way we view, think of, and speak about the past…. Perhaps the only way to be able to show these images is when they are set in motion within a poetic space that aims to do justice to the realities of oppression from which they were taken…. To mark a beginning, I felt I had to start putting images and words together from the get-go, seeing montage not as a final stage of the filmmaking process, but rather as a way of beginning, montage as a way of writing.’ - Hannes VERHOUSTRAETE
