The Steaming Bay
During the late 19th to early 20th century, the colonial power built a Brewery in Qingdao.
The slow hunger of cold devouring the heat and energy of the barley. Silently, the Brewery industry crept into the land. It is a stand-in interlocutor between the image regimes built around colonial forces and the industrial complex in Qingdao, which drew from local aesthetics of the Shandong Peninsula and colonial episteme in botany and geography.
This essay film attempts to knocks on the solid door of the brewery, debates on the center/periphery binaries of empire, and engages in a continual push and pull with the construction and disruption of historical edges.
蒸腾之湾
19 世纪末至 20 世纪初,殖民势力开始在青岛(山东半岛)建造啤酒厂。
凛冽缓慢的吞噬着大麦的热量和能量。啤酒厂悄无声息地侵入了这片土地,成为了殖民势力建立的工业形象体系,该形象汲取着山东半岛的当地知识系统和殖民者在当地的植物学和地理学方面的认知。
这部散文电影敲开了啤酒厂坚固的大门,讨论了帝国的中心与边缘二元论,并不断地推拉着历史边缘的建构和破坏。
