The film presents different culture through stereoscopic images. When viewers try to change the focus and see with the naked eye, the round images became overlapped or separated intermittently because of the tired muscles. It implies the spectacles of modernity as we observed by traveling, has created the experience of strangeness and familiarity. Thedrawings in the foreground illustrated the body which swallowed by the liquid and moves through the liquefied /alienation space. So as a silent persecutee being stirred in the machine of modernity, and sinks into the waves of the crushing sound.

Discussion

林青萱導演：
概念來自於十八世紀的立體視鏡的雙頻道，左右一樣的圖像、不同的影像對應。這部動畫的具象、細節比較多，難用平鋪直敘去表現，猶如看3D立體書的方式去看這部片，像不像、似不似的曖昧，反應人的內在。前景動畫用的是液體的概念，流來流去的意象表現曖昧不明的狀態。機械的緊繃感覺造成聲音，要表達受到巨輪壓力下的人與體制。我大部分的創作不是以說故事開始的，我總是在嘗試不同的技法；而手持拍攝的晃動感，也是影像的一種表現。
