《身外物》為本人以「患病母親的女兒」視角，以影片創作詮釋媽媽初發病至今，我所感知到的家庭改變，以及家人與我共度媽媽生病的心境歷程。 《身外物》以紀錄影像為主，並藉由許多重建場景，以空鏡頭或意境式的影像之重演、動畫虛構方式，傳達有關個人成長記憶裡媽媽生病前／後的畫面，是屬於較具表現形式的個人紀錄片作品。 同時，影片的概念「身外物」，意指媽媽從前美麗的衣服，以及而今臥床狀態所必需的醫療用具；兩者分指向「健康」與「生病成為生命的一部分」的訊息，以兩種身外物象徵的故事敘事，帶出本人與家人陪伴媽媽生病一路走來的歷程。更期能在創作過程中，療癒自己多年面對媽媽生病以來的創傷心情，因此該作品是一則平靜卻也蘊含著對過去逐漸釋懷的影像述說。 / “Mother’s Belongings” is a film about how my family and I have been accompanying my mother with her illness all of the days, which has brought significant changes to our lives. As a daughter, I will depict my psychological journey based on what I perceive before and after my mother encountered the disease ever since my teenage. The film will include two parts: one is based on video records of my daily life, the other is some fictional clips about my past memories. The title “Mother’s Belongings” indicates different belongings (or apparels) of my mother’s “health” and “illness”. I intend to use the symbols of material nature to delineate the story of a daughter and her family facing the illness of her mother.
