A New Gateway on the Plateau

A New Gateway on the Plateau
打开高原之门

This film was cooked with the first-hand materials our team collected during our on-site inspection and interviews in Gannan Tibetan Region. It reviews the impact and change Norlha has taken on the local economy, religion, culture and natural environment, from the perspectives of the founders, the employees and local nomads.
There are usually complex factors and levels included in a social design project. Instead of representing the “good” or the “bad” from just one angle, different aspects should be given the spotlight so as to present to the audience a more objective and comprehensive picture. The film employs three screens together as the medium to extend the representing space. The separate but connected screens complement each other in content on the one hand, and place different interviewees on the same axis of time on the other hand, creating the impression of separate individuals expressing their own views while “conversing with each other” at the same time.
In display the film is placed in the same space with books and yak wool materials in order to create a systematic and multi-dimensional expression with listening, reading and touching.

本影像作品是以我们团队在甘南藏区的考察与访谈作为素材，分别从诺乐的创始人、员工与当地牧民等不同角度，去讨论诺乐在当地经济、宗教文化与自然环境中的影响与改变。
在社会设计项目中通常包含了较为复杂的因素与多种层面。因此，不可从单一的角度去展现其的“好”与“坏”，而是需要将其不同的层面更客观地展现给观者。本影像作品选用三块屏幕作为载体，拓展了影像表现的可能性。每块屏幕不仅可以在内容上相互补充，而且可以让不同的被采访者在同一时间轴上，如同“隔空对话”般表达自己不同的观点。
在展陈方面，我将影像作品与书籍、牦牛绒材料置于一个展示空间中，尝试创造出从试听、阅读到触摸更加系统与立体表达。
