宛如中国水墨画般的神秘山水景观，恋空美丽的漓江缓缓流过，恋空沿岸峰迭峦秀、奇峰异石，造就出令人屏息的惊鸿绝景。在古朴静谧的渔村与田园中，嘹亮的牧歌笛声阵阵传来，勾起儿时记忆中的点点滴滴。桂林，位于中国华南地区，是少数有名的景胜地之一。效仿古人独驾轻舟，缓缓划进墨色渲染的画屏中，存在1300多年的古老渔村-「兴坪」、漓江支流-遇龙河岸旁「白沙村」的淳朴风光，每个画面的转折，都是笔锋细腻旋转的勾勒。01.漓江(阳朔大桥)02.矮山村03.高田乡04.阳硕西街05.漓江夜明06.兴坪镇老街07.漓江I08.漓江II09.白沙镇金龙桥10.白沙镇遇龙桥11.白沙镇遇龙河12.白沙镇富里桥13.金龙桥夕暮

回复 :James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?
