The Boundaries

Checkpoints and borders have a long-lasting impact on physical and psychological space. For example, the opening scene of Dapeng Beach was hotspot for people to swim to Hong Kong during the Big Escape. Some entered the sea from Dapeng (east coast of Shenzhen) and shouting freedom when arrived on another beach after longtime swimming, but turn out to found that the landing spot was Shekou (west coast of Shenzhen), and captured by Chinese boarder guards. After 1997, daily communications between Shenzhen and Hong Kong seem to be more regular and convenient, but the psychological gap is growing deeper and deeper. Another example, in 2015, the Second Line checkpoints were “destroyed from the flesh”, but the unbalanced development and state of mind caused by the Second Line will last for a long time within Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

深圳河(深港之界)与二线关(经济特区之界,社会主义与资本主义之界)曾被类比为柏林墙。二线关建于1982年6月,拆于2015年6月,一线关(深圳河)在1997年之后依然存在,且沟壑愈深。艺术家龙淼渊和陆正沿线拍摄纪录主要关口,以实验视听反思深圳地缘历史及影像生产的边界。本片的48分钟现场演出版首演于2017年波兰WRO媒体艺术双年展。
