Gone Is the Gold of the Days
2018 · Experimental video / film poem
Gone Is the Gold of the Days follows Amber as she searches for
her mother, a painter who disappeared shortly after giving birth to
her. On a rebuilt earth caught in the repetition of the old one, Amber
encounters not her mother, but a white-haired version of herself.
They share a cigarette. They burn a painting. They walk across scorched ground in parallel.
Through doubled bodies, repeated gestures, and displaced landscapes, the film approaches memory not as something to recover, but as something that returns out of sequence. The past remains inaccessible, yet Amber cannot leave it behind.

《那一天已然流逝》讲述的是安珀寻找母亲的故事。她的母亲是一位画家，在生下她之后不久
便杳无音讯。在一个重建后却仍复刻着旧日轨迹的地球上，安珀没能找到母亲，却遇见了
满头白发的另一个自己。
她们共抽一支烟。她们焚毁一幅画。她们并肩走过焦土，步伐交错却平行。
影片借助成对的身体、重复的姿态与错置的景观，将记忆并非视作有待寻回之物，而是作为 一种不合时序、反复折返的存在。过去无法抵达，而安珀也无法将它抛在身后。
