High Life

102 品 “搬回澳门时，一切对我来说都 是新的，城市规模、文化等等。一天 晚上我在闲逛时，看到这位婆婆并聊 起了生活。之后我想，或许我可以由 此创造出一些艺术作品？” 现今我们生活的这个时代，通过 社交媒体分享各种生活点滴已是一种 常态。但社交媒体确有积极的方面， 比如为艺术提供了新的平台。 除了带来归属感和有助于发现新 事物之外，它还是积极参与和表达观 点的一个手段。因此，这部新纪录片 的第一集发布在了 Facebook 上。 他称：“我们的目标是展现澳门 的超现实主义。我们想要凸显澳门是 何等独一无二。 “I can’t really say that I have had a life-long passion for film in the way that a lot of directors, actors and film creators have,” he explains when our discussion turns to his achievements. “I stumbled into the film industry purely coincidentally. “When I moved back here to Macau, everything was new to me – the size and the culture amongst many other things. One night, when I was wandering, I saw this old lady and we started to have a conversation about life. After that I thought, ‘Maybe I could make something artistic out of this?’” We live in an age where sharing every aspect of our lives – from what we are eating to what we are wearing – is the new normal. But there are positives to this social media society, providing at the same time a new platform for the arts. “纪录片的核心是反映现实而不 夸张。在澳门淡化艺术与商业化之间 的界线，有很多好处。” 第一集的剧情概要，是对一位64 岁捡纸箱的婆婆和一位来自巴西、两 度获得澳门健美先生称号的年轻人的 生活进行比较。 首先，中葡角色的并存展现了澳 门真实的文化现状。同时，它亦将生 活方式、世代、语言和体能极限进行 对比，并对科技与生活的交融做了深 入观察。 尽管背景迥异，但两人传递着相 同的能量。正如影片中最让人印象深 刻的一句话，“在人人都在筑起屏障 的年代，为何不选择搭建桥梁？” As well as offering a sense of belonging and a means of discovering new things, it is also a way of actively engaging and voicing our points of view. Hence, episode one of Lam’s latest documentary, What’s Your Art , was made available on Facebook. “We aim to put the surrealism of Macau out there,” he explains. “We want to put a spotlight on just how incredibly unique Macau is. There’s no place like it. “Thecoreofalldocumentaries is to showa slice of realitywithout toomuch exaggeration. There’s a lot to be said about blurring the lines here in Macau between the arts and commercialism.” The synopsis of episode one is the comparison of the lives of a 64-year-old cardboard-collecting grandmother and a relatively young Brazilian champion body builder and two-time Mr Macau title holder.
