台北

小康走過阿宗麵線

走過士林夜市

走進一個白色的空間

不知道他從哪裡來

也不知道往哪裡去

這是一部沒有產品置入的手機廣告

在澳門做了公開的首映之後

產品還未上市 就無疾而終

 

Taipei.

Hsiao Kang walks past the Ay-Chung Rice-Flour Noodle shop,

past Shilin Night Market,

and into a white space

We don't know where he's from

or where he's going

This is a cell phone ad where the product doesn't even appear

After the film premiered in Macau,

the product was pulled before it even hit the shelves



行者

Walker

2012 威尼斯影展 Venice FF

 

蔡導自小是吃香港流行文化的奶水長大,可說是深受影響,他以行者的緩慢注視回禮,即便這大都會從來就沒有平靜過,許冠傑是他的少年偶像,片尾便放了他的歌。

 

Having grown up with Hong Kong's popular culture, Tsai decided to pay homage by making a "Walker" film, contrasting the Walker's slowness with the frenzied pace of Hong Kong's cosmopolitan life. The film ends with a song by Hong Kong actor and singer Samuel Hui, who was Tsai's idol during his youth.

夢遊 Sleepwalk

 

蔡明亮 TSAI Ming-liang|台灣 Taiwan|2012|DCP|Color|21min

 

2012 年台灣的林友寒和廖偉立威尼斯建築雙年展的作品,邀請蔡導創作影像加入,蔡導利用兩位建築師在台灣的預展空間,以行者的概念拍攝了兩支短片:《金剛經》與《夢遊》。蔡導說,凝視電鍋煮飯,使他想起母親臨終的臉,她最後吐出的一口氣。

 

In 2012, Taiwanese architects Michael Lin and Liao Wei-li invited Tsai to make short films for their exhibit at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Using the space at their preview exhibition in Taiwan, Tsai made two short films, Diamond Sutra and Sleepwalk, using the "Walker" concept. Tsai said that gazing at the steam rising from a rice cooker reminded him of his mother's face as she lay dying, exhaling her final breath.



行在水上

Walking on Water

 

蔡明亮 TSAI Ming-liang|台灣 Taiwan|2013|DCP|Color|29min

 

2013 年,受電影人陳翠梅邀請參與「南方來信」短片合集拍攝計畫,行者回到蔡導的故鄉,馬來西亞古晉七層樓,他整個的快樂童年,如今物是人非,小時候幫他洗澡餵食的大姐姐也老了。

 

In 2013, Tsai was invited by filmmaker Tan Chui Mui to make a short film for an anthology film, Letters from the South. Tsai returned to his hometown in Kuching, Malaysia and made a "Walker" film at his childhood home. The seven-storey flat which contained the happy memories of his childhood is now occupied by strangers. His old neighbor, an older girl who used to bathe and feed him when he was a child, has also grown old.



西遊

Journey to the West

2014 柏林影展 Berlinale

 

2014 年,受法國馬賽藝術節邀請拍攝。蔡導說,馬賽他不熟,他只是遊客。那年的夏末,他拍的是地中海美麗的陽光,同時找來曾演出《新橋戀人》的著名演員丹尼拉馮與小康搭配演出。

 

In 2014, Tsai was invited to make a film for the Festival de Marseille. Tsai, who was not familiar with Marseille, decided to make a film as a tourist, capturing the beautiful Mediterranean sunshine in the late summer of that year. He also invited famous French actor, Denis Lavant, to appear alongside Hsiao Kang.

只是出門寫生

畫一幅小康東京夜行圖

冬夜冷

澡堂

嬰兒般光滑剔透安藤的身體

睡不著

桑拿室

小康汗如雨下

水裡霧裡

短暫相遇

 

Just an outdoor life drawing

of Hsiao Kang's night walking in Tokyo

Winter night, cold

Public bath

Smooth, glittering like a baby is Masanobu's body

Can't sleep

Sauna room

Hsiao Kang's sweat falls like raindrops

In the water, as well as the fog

The transient encounter



Sand

 

蔡明亮 TSAI Ming-liang|台灣 Taiwan|2018|DCP|Color|81min

 

行者如行禪般的步履,終於讓我們在時光的恆常流失中,看見太平洋、看見天空、看見海鳥、看見沙是黑色的、看見冬天寒雨中升起的捕鰻苗聚落、看見林投樹的千迴百轉、看見堆得像山的漂流木,還有一棟剛剛蓋起來的水泥房子,似乎,行者暫時有了落腳處。

 

In the constant passage of time, the Zen-like footsteps of the Walker has finally allowed us to see the Pacific Ocean, the open sky, the seagulls, the black sand, an eel-catching settlement that arose in the cold winter rain, the twisting branches of the Pandanus, flotsam piled up like mountains, and a newly constructed cement house, which seems to offer a temporary place of rest for the Walker.



何處

Where

2023 金馬獎最佳紀錄片提名 Nominated for Best Documentary, Golden Horse Awards

 

在陌生的城市

亞儂哼唱起家鄉的歌

彷彿在找尋什麼

或在等待著誰

他遇到行者

相遇像一埸夢

醒來似曾相識

 

In an unfamiliar foreign city

Anong hums songs from his hometown

He seems to be searching for something

or perhaps waiting for someone

He meets the walker

The encounter feels like a dream

He wakes up to a sense of déjà vu



無所住

Abiding Nowhere

行者第十部

來到華盛頓

兩個孤獨者各自的旅行

他們有時走過相同的路

但並沒有相遇

沒有發生什麼

也沒有故事

他們的腳程

像一首心與靈魂冥想的祈禱文

 

The tenth Walker film

takes place in Washington D.C.

Two lonely souls on separate journeys,

sometimes crossing paths

but never once meeting

Nothing happens between them

There is no story

Their walking journeys are

like a meditative prayer of heart and soul
