碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 廣告研究所 === 97 === This project is a production of fabricated photography, which adopts sleepwalk as the script, implying the process of fulfilling thoughts into the tangible work. The project began with the concept that inspiration of creating is similar to daydreaming as well as the journey of creating is akin to sleep-walking. Six sequences of sleepwalk-adventures that shot in the city symbolize the different phases of creating, which will be clarified in the following articles. The plots consist of the insomniac going out, wandering and seeking, waking up and stretching, fleeing and abandoning, wildly swallowing and consuming, and settling and falling asleep, all of which are performed by five characters and me. Six characters indicate that the creator was located and inspired by different phases and facets of creating. The story begins with the protagonist couldn’t get to sleep at night, then wanders into the story line where she/he is seeking and stretching various ideas, then leaving these possibilities behind, which symbolize the first stage of creating. The plots lead us into eating section, in which foods bring both mentally and physically satisfactions to protagonist, imply the gratifications in creating. In the end, pouring the fallen leaves into the tub represents summing up and immersing. The tub is like the boat of imagination carrying fallen leaves that imply diverse stories. Once I fall into the dream land, the story goes into the circle of dreams and dreams. This is a performing and shooting that respond to me. All the sets and properties attaching to one another in the context serve as the holders of metaphors, indicating the experimental essence of image narrative. In terms of viewing angles in the dream, one can see herself/himself in the dream and even dominate the plot of it, as if she/he is playing director and actor at the same time, which is the reason that the first person and the third person narratives are both used in the depictions of this work.
