To my point of view, the word marvelous should be the particular word to describe an excellent idea that nobody has ever thought about. And, it is also an adjective to describe the creative work that combine two totally different objects together and have a outcome like 1+1>2. The vision is not able to be understood at the first glance. However, it can encourage you to ask questions and induce your curiosity to explore the meaning inside and enlighten you in the end.
I found such marvelous thing in Charlie’s video work. The whole screen was divided into 9 sections and each section is a video shot by Charlie from 3 different cities. The main object which I saw is the road that he’s driving on. At the first glance, you may think that they are shot from same place. Then, you will not only found that the views are different and some of them are turned-off. Because that the driving speed were nearly the same when shooting these views and the main object is the road, every two different roads in different videos can be combined perfectly sometime. With the same speed and similar view, I felt that I am travelling in two different cities at the same time and on the same road. It seems that the border between different cities and the contradiction between time and space disappeared for a while. Different spaces were merged and created a fresh vision experience when watching this video work.
