長年生活於河岸周邊的城市之中，我的成長經驗始終與河流、河堤、橋樑及橋下空間交織在一起。沿著河岸移動、停留與觀看，逐漸成為一種反覆發生的日常，也使這些風景在時間的累積之中，與不同生命階段的記憶彼此重疊。家人、朋友、愛人，以及不同時期的自己，都曾經出現在這些河邊風景之中。隨著城市持續改變，河流與橋樑仍不斷承載著不同世代留下的生活軌跡，也見證著人與地方之間持續變動的關係。

作品從長時間遊走於河岸、堤外空間與橋下區域的身體經驗出發，以第一人稱視角展開敘事。鏡頭沿著河流緩慢移動，在行走與停留之間持續觀看這些熟悉的風景；長焦距鏡頭則將遠方的景物拉近，壓縮空間的距離，也使觀看停留於建築、人物與河岸的細節之間。影像穿插無聲的字幕獨白，搭配現場錄製的環境聲響，使畫面、文字與聲音共同構成一種介於紀錄、回憶與敘事之間的觀看狀態。

作品並未試圖重現某段特定的故事，而是在一次次觀看與經過之中，讓風景逐漸成為記憶生成的場所。當鏡頭沿著河岸緩慢前行，觀看不再只是對風景的凝視，而是在移動之中重新感知河流、橋樑與城市基礎設施如何持續形塑人的生活經驗，也讓那些曾經發生於此的片段，在觀看之中再次浮現。


Having grown up in a city shaped by its rivers, my daily life has long unfolded alongside riverbanks, levees, bridges, and the spaces beneath them. Repeatedly walking, pausing, and looking along these routes has become an enduring way of encountering the city. Over time, these landscapes have accumulated layers of lived experience, where different moments of life quietly overlap. Family, friends, loved ones, and different versions of myself have all passed through these places. While the city continues to transform, its rivers and infrastructure persist, carrying traces of everyday life across generations and continually reshaping the relationship between people and their surroundings.

The Riverside Tales emerges from my sustained experience of moving through riverbanks, floodplains, and the spaces beneath bridges, unfolding through a first-person perspective. The camera advances slowly along the river, alternating between movement and stillness. Filmed with a telephoto lens, distant elements are optically compressed, drawing attention to architectural structures, passing figures, and the textures of the built landscape. Silent subtitles appear intermittently alongside location recordings, allowing image, text, and sound to construct a mode of viewing situated between observation, lived experience, and narrative.

The work does not seek to reconstruct a particular story. Instead, it considers how moving through a landscape continually shapes the ways we see and inhabit it. As the camera follows the river’s course, looking becomes a spatial practice rather than a detached act of observation. Rivers, bridges, and urban infrastructure are experienced not simply as physical structures, but as frameworks that organize movement, perception, and everyday life. Within this slow progression, fragments of past encounters quietly resurface—not as fixed memories, but as experiences that remain embedded in the act of looking.
