一個(gè)腦海充滿哲思的人,面對(duì)400噸的石頭以及原始空間與時(shí)間的思考。當(dāng)藝術(shù)家展望向我講述他的作品"我的宇宙"草圖時(shí),我的腦海中只能形成模糊的概念。他計(jì)畫(huà)爆破一塊巨石,用高速攝像機(jī)從六個(gè)不同角度拍攝爆炸的場(chǎng)面,然後將六面體視頻錄影裝置與碎石不銹鋼進(jìn)行重組實(shí)驗(yàn)。他讓我拍攝下整個(gè)過(guò)程,並說(shuō),"人類(lèi)是不可能知道宇宙的起源的。"我對(duì)此表示贊同,決意參與。展望執(zhí)行著他的計(jì)畫(huà),尋找石頭,聘請(qǐng)爆破專(zhuān)家,協(xié)調(diào)高速攝影團(tuán)體。但當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)貑T警發(fā)現(xiàn)一名外籍"記者"正在對(duì)這個(gè)過(guò)程進(jìn)行記錄拍攝時(shí),村支書(shū)收回了展望在其管轄範(fàn)圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行大規(guī)模爆破活動(dòng)的許可。原本沉浸於對(duì)天際星體的冥想中的藝術(shù)家展望此時(shí)被迫轉(zhuǎn)向與地方官員的周旋。幾費(fèi)周章,好事多磨,展望最後還是爭(zhēng)取到了爆破活動(dòng)進(jìn)行的許可,過(guò)程實(shí)屬不易。到底是對(duì)西方理性與科學(xué)的嘲諷?找尋生命的意義?展現(xiàn)當(dāng)代中國(guó)思想?抑或僅是展望本人博雜思想體系中的一點(diǎn)閃光?紀(jì)錄片《石頭紀(jì)》之中,宇宙與觀念、物質(zhì)、社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)以意外、力氣的方式互相遭遇。WhenartistZhanWangshowedDirectorRichardWidmerhisfirstsketchesforthe"MyUniverse"project,thefilmmakercouldbarelygrasphisidea.Zhanwantedtoblow-upahugerock,filmtheexplosionfromsixsidesinultraslowmotion,andthenrecreatetheexperimentwithasix-sidedvideoinstallationandrockfragmentsmadeofstainlesssteel.Andhewantedtheentireprocessfilmed."Humanscannotpossiblyunderstandtheoriginoftheuniverse,"hypothesizedZhanWang,whoinvitedthefilmmakertogoalongfortheride.ZhanWangfindshisrock,hirespyrotechnicsspecialists,andcoordinateshishigh-speedvideoteam,butwhenlocalpolicediscoverthataforeign"journalist"isrecordingtheproceedings,thevillage'sPartySecretaryrefusesZhanWangpermissiontomakealarge-scaleexplosionwithinhisjurisdiction.Insteadofcontemplatingthestarsinheaven,ZhanWangisforcedtograpplewithlocalpolitics.AndwhenZhanWangfinallywinspermission,eventheheavensseemtoconspireagainsthim.WhetherornotyoubelieveinGod,recreatingtheBigBangwillnotbesuchasimplematter.MockingWesternreasonandscience?Searchingforthemeaningoflife?ProjectingacontemporaryChineseideology?OrisZhanWanghimselfmerelyasinglepointoflightshotfromitssourceintoeternity?LEGENDOFTHESTONEtellsthestoryofanartisticencounterwiththeuniverseandtheunexpectedcollisionofconceptual,materialandsocialrealityccc
