An Enemy Of The People At The Moment 人民公敵.現代進行式 (2016)

Synopsis

A group of people are walking across a space. They discover ‘something’, out of curiousity they put them on. Then, they have identities, status, and names. And they have story when they start to interact. The story is called “an enemy of the people”.

At the moment, they recall the story from 19th century; at the moment, they recreate the story; at the moment, they review the story…

At the moment, they question: obey the majority or independent thinking, which one is important? In this information technology era, who are the “majority” actually indicating? When all the people are free to express, are they really thinking independently?

一群人,穿越一個空間時,發現了一些東西。他們好奇的把它們穿上、套上,他們於是擁有的身份與地位,以及名字。他們彼此接觸,於是,也有了故事,這個故事,叫做「人民公敵」。他們於是就在當下進行著那個來自世紀的故事。。。。。。

進行著進行著,他們不禁產生疑問:服從群眾比較重要?還是堅持信念、思想獨立比較重要?而在這資訊爆炸的時代,「群眾」又代表著什麼?當人人享有自由表述時,思想是不是真的就獨立了?
