Beneath the image there’s a caption that reads: “But to me, the trees look like upside down sound waves." 金色的云朵与落日倒映在微微荡漾的水面上。图像下方的文字说明写道:“但对我而言,这些树看起来就像倒置的声波。” Image copyright of the artist, courtesy of Video Data Bank, www.vdb.org, School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Small, in the middle of a dark image, a figure stands in faint relief against an expanse of water shimmering in moonlight. Beneath the image there’s a caption that reads: “who decides how to participate, largely as a reaction to what they are shown," 在一幅昏暗的画面中央,一个小小的人影在月光下闪烁的水面前若隐若现。图像下方的文字说明写道:“谁决定如何参与,往往取决于他们所看到的事物——” Image copyright of the artist, courtesy of Video Data Bank, www.vdb.org, School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Soldiers lower to the ground, doing a training exercise in a green space in a park, framed by a black border. Beneath the image there’s a caption that reads: “Or another way of saying it is: how these images are put to work.” 士兵们在公园的绿地上俯身进行训练,画面被黑色边框框住。图像下方的文字说明写道:“或者换一种说法:这些影像是如何被使用的。” Image copyright of the artist, courtesy of Video Data Bank, www.vdb.org, School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

这部散文式影像作品质问“成为观众”意味着什么。自《美国残障人法案》通过以来,法律虽名义上禁止对残障群体的歧视,却常常无法真正落实。影片纠缠着关于残障、劳动与国家认同的刻板表征,质疑将残障者置于字幕、转录、乃至军需品缝制等低薪劳动中的“善意合理性”,并反思观看与劳动之间的伦理边界。

This essay film asks what it means to be an audience, in the wake of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which claims but often fails to prohibit discrimination against disabled workers and audiences in the United States. Tangling common sense representations of disability, labor, and national identity, the film questions the purported goodness of putting disabled people to work in underpaid contexts ranging from captioning and transcribing to fabricating textiles for the U.S. military.
The film is open captioned and audio described in English. Description of still image: Soldiers lower to the ground, doing a training exercise in a green space in a park, framed by a black border. Beneath the image there’s a caption that reads: “Or another way of saying it is: how these images are put to work.”
