PHILOSOPHY
My films emerge from years of living and working in natural environments across different continents. Rather than presenting a fixed theory, the reflections collected here have gradually developed through filmmaking itself. They attempt to articulate a way of seeing, creating, and reconnecting with the living world.
A Philosophy of Seeing
Seeing is not the acquisition of visual information, but an embodied encounter with the living world. Through the body, perception extends beyond vision into time, sound, atmosphere, memory, and presence. The camera is not merely a recording device; it becomes an extension of perception, allowing filmmaker and world to enter into a shared field of experience.
My filmmaking is grounded in patience, attentiveness, and openness. It rarely begins with a subject or a story. More often, it begins by spending time in a place—returning to it, listening to it, and allowing its rhythms to gradually shape perception. Rather than seeking to control nature, I approach filmmaking as a practice of encounter, where images emerge through attention rather than intention.
The limits of spoken language are not necessarily the limits of perception. Human understanding begins before words and continues beyond them. Cinema does not merely extend language—it extends perception. Rather than communicating what language cannot say, cinema allows perception to continue where language naturally comes to rest.
A Philosophy of Reconnection
My filmmaking is inevitably fragmentary. Every image emerges from a particular place, moment, and encounter. Filmed across different continents, climates, and years, each fragment bears the traces of a singular encounter. Editing does not erase these discontinuities; rather, it reconnects fragments into the continuity of the living world.
The camera fragments the world. Editing returns it to continuity. Cinema, in this sense, does not invent relationships—it reveals those that already exist beyond geographical, temporal, and climatic boundaries.
My work does not begin with the ambition to change the world. It begins with the conviction that the world already possesses its own integrity and continuity. My filmmaking is therefore not an act of imposing meaning upon reality, but of patiently entering into its rhythms, attending to its unfolding, and revealing relationships that precede human interpretation.
For me,
Cinema is neither a tool for mastering nature,
nor a means of separating ourselves from it.
It is a practice of returning—
returning to perception,
returning to relationships,
returning to the continuity of the living world.
电影哲学
我的电影诞生于近二十年来在不同大陆自然环境中的生活与创作。这里的思考并非试图建立一套固定的理论，而是在长期的电影实践中逐渐形成。它们试图表达一种观看、创作并与生命世界重新连接的方式。
看见的哲学
看见，并非获取视觉信息，而是一场与生命世界发生于身体之中的相遇。通过身体，感知超越了视觉本身，延伸至时间、声音、氛围、记忆与在场。摄影机不仅仅是一种记录工具，它更是感知的延伸，使电影创作者与世界共同进入同一个经验场域。
我的创作建立在耐心、专注与开放之上。它很少始于一个主题或一个故事，而更多始于在一个地方停留——不断返回、不断倾听，让那个地方自身的节奏逐渐塑造我的感知。我并不试图控制自然，而是将电影创作视为一种相遇的实践，在那里，影像并非源于意图，而是诞生于持续的关注。
语言的边界，并不必然是感知的边界。人类对世界的理解开始于语言之前，也延续于语言之后。电影并不仅仅扩展语言，它扩展的是感知。它并非去表达语言无法表达之物，而是在语言自然停止的地方，让感知继续发生。
重连的哲学
我的创作天然是碎片化的。每一个镜头都诞生于特定的地点、时间与相遇之中。跨越不同大陆、不同气候与不同年份拍摄的每一段影像，都承载着一次独特相遇留下的痕迹。剪辑并不是抹去这些断裂，而是将这些碎片重新连接回生命世界原本的连续性。
摄影机将世界切割成碎片，剪辑让它重新回归连续。因此，电影并不是创造关系，而是揭示那些早已存在于地理、时间与气候边界之外的联系。
我的创作并非始于改变世界的愿望，而是始于一种信念：世界本身早已拥有属于自己的完整性与连续性。因此，对我而言，电影创作并不是把意义强加于现实，而是在耐心进入世界自身节奏的过程中，倾听它的展开，并揭示那些早于人类解释而存在的关系。
对我而言，
电影既不是征服自然的工具，
也不是将我们与自然分离的方式。
它是一种返回的实践——
返回感知，
返回关系，
返回生命世界原本的连续性。
