核心畫面

Picture the clock winning. Something has to happen, and the time it needed was not there, so it gets pushed through anyway. Look at the work that came out and you see the marks of it: gaps, blurry edges, a last part nobody wrote. Look at the person instead and you see the same pressure from the inside: still moving, still late, no moment to stop. The word points either at the product or at the person, and the pressure is the same in both.

可以想成時鐘贏了。事情非做不可,但需要的時間不夠,只好硬推過去。看做出來的東西,就看得到痕跡:漏掉的地方、糊掉的邊、更多收起可以想成時鐘贏了。事情非做不可,但需要的時間不夠,只好硬推過去。看做出來的東西,就看得到痕跡:漏掉的地方、糊掉的邊、最後一段沒人寫。把鏡頭轉向人,壓力是一樣的,只是從裡面感覺:還在動、還是來不及、沒有一刻能停。這個字有時候指成品,有時候指人,但被時間追著的那股力道是同一個。
