簡介:一個腦海充滿哲思的人,面對400噸的石頭以及原始空間與時間的思考。當藝術(shù)家展望向我講述他的作品"我的宇宙"草圖時,我的腦海中只能形成模糊的概念。他計畫爆破一塊巨石,用高速攝像機從六個不同角度拍攝爆炸的場面,然後將六面體視頻錄影裝置與碎石不銹鋼進行重組實驗。他讓我拍攝下整個過程,並說,"人類是不可能知道宇宙的起源的。"我對此表示贊同,決意參與。展望執(zhí)行著他的計畫,尋找石頭,聘請爆破專家,協(xié)調(diào)高速攝影團體。但當當?shù)貑T警發(fā)現(xiàn)一名外籍"記者"正在對這個過程進行記錄拍攝時,村支書收回了展望在其管轄範圍內(nèi)進行大規(guī)模爆破活動的許可。原本沉浸於對天際星體的冥想中的藝術(shù)家展望此時被迫轉(zhuǎn)向與地方官員的周旋。幾費周章,好事多磨,展望最後還是爭取到了爆破活動進行的許可,過程實屬不易。到底是對西方理性與科學(xué)的嘲諷?找尋生命的意義?展現(xiàn)當代中國思想?抑或僅是展望本人博雜思想體系中的一點閃光?紀錄片《石頭紀》之中,宇宙與觀念、物質(zhì)、社會現(xiàn)實以意外、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
