video, 19'00

The Rupture of Promised Land (Or We Can Never Get There) (2020) is the sequel work of the experimental documentary, Those Who Do Not Remember The Past Are Condemned To Repeat It (2020). By composing the materials from FBI Vault and Jonestown Institute, this work consists of several sequences of monologues, confessions, and speeches made by the members and public figures of the United States and the Soviet Union. From the juxtaposition and the tension made by the audio and visual materials of the archive with the video game Outlast 2 which conveys its connection with the mass suicide of Jonestown in 1978, this work intends to project the trajectories of the rupture of the search of Promised Land of the Jonestown members. This rupture, in fact, also implies the disillusionment and disappointment of religious socialism.

《應許之地的崩坍(或我們永遠無法到達那裡)》(2020年)是實驗性紀錄片《那些忘記過去的人必將重蹈覆轍》(2020年)的續篇。這部作品由FBI文獻和Jonestown 的成員和公眾人物的獨白、懺悔和演講組成。作品從檔案的聲音和視頻材料與遊戲《Outlast 2》的並置,意在呈現Jonestown成員尋找應許之地崩坍的軌跡。事實上,這種崩坍也意味著宗教社會主義的幻滅與失望。
