The Fish Of Plastic Empire｜塑料帝国里的鱼
For a long time now, people have been finding large amounts of non-biodegradable microplastics in marine organisms. These microplastics are formed by the decomposition of plastic waste in the ocean. It is gradually eaten, absorbed and fused by marine life, and eventually returned to the human table, forming a closed loop. From a non-human central perspective, are these creatures also the food that the ocean gives back to humans? The short film constructs a grotesque and bizarre space that revisits the identities of the eater and the eaten, presenting an exaggerated relationship of domination that challenges human perceptions of their place in the environment.
在过去的很长时间里，人类不断地从海洋生物体内检测出大量的不可降解的微塑料物质，这些微塑料物质由塑料垃圾在海洋中分解形成，逐渐被海洋生物食用、吸收、融合，最终又重新回到了人类的餐桌上，形成闭环。在非人类中心化的视角中，这些生物是否也是海洋回馈给人类的食物？短片即构建了一个怪诞离奇的空间，重新审视食用以及被食用的身份，其中呈现出的夸张统治关系挑战了人类对于自身在环境中的地位认知。
