The work is a collection of stories told by five narrators with different life experiences.

Is ruminating on one’s memories is a kind of self-learning or self-defense? In the video, these five narrators have calmly unfolded and told their respective memories and adventures. And through their telling, they’ve translated the crisis of the past into stories. To pour out one’s heart was their respective way in addressing their realities in crisis, such that, those seemingly similar yet varied experiences are unearthed, recalled and replaced, out of the crevasses of one’s memories. From this world they revealed, specific yet urgent circumstances reshape their memories, which are embodied in the different pathways of storage from these five individuals, so the memories could reconnect in the sheltering train carts, as they conjure into an image of shared destiny.

作品呈現了五位不同經歷的述白者所構成的故事集合。

咀嚼回憶是一種自我辨認,還是一種自我辯解?影像中他們一次次平靜的鋪展、講述各自的回憶和奇遇,將昨日的危機時刻化作往事。而傾吐之外的世界,是各自處置危機的現實。
那些聽似相同或不同的經歷,隨著回憶的通道從地磚裂隙處被翻起、找回、並重掩。
通過他們所坦露的世界,特殊而緊迫的處境與回憶相互塑造,呈現了五個個體不同的存儲軌跡,使鏈接的記憶體在作為庇護之所的車廂內重逢,拼合成一副關於共同命運的圖像。
