成都,是中国西部四川省的首府。摄于其市中心的《拆迁》,展现了有关城市、外来民工以及人与人间短暂的关系。影片首先探讨于建筑工地的形式条件,对劳动力的体力要求,以及人与机器间的关系,随后逐步将注意力转移到由三十位男性与女性产生的社会活力。这些来自四川仁寿县的人们一直参与着城市风景的无休止变化。通过对农村劳动者、工地管理者、城市居民以及拍摄者的镜头展示,《拆迁》旨在聚焦这些中国“流动人口”之间的交互作用。Chaiqian (Demolition) is a portrait of urban space, migrant labor, and ephemeral relationships in the center of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province in western China. Focusing first on the formal dimensions of the transforming worksite – including the demands of physical labor and the relationship between human and machine – the film gradually shifts attention to the social dynamics of a group of thirty men and women who have come from the countryside to work in this ever-changing urban landscape. Chaiqian (Demolition) explores not only the interactions between these members of China’s “floating population,” but also the fleeting nature of experience for them, as well as for the worksite managers, city dwellers, and the filmmaker himself.
