這兩張照片分別來自台灣與澳洲的山景，緣起於某次行駛在澳洲昆士蘭某處的山路，除了道路之外的景致皆是樹木、蕨類與溪谷，林相與台灣中海拔山區非常相似。而行駛在這樣蜿蜒不絕的山路中我產生了一個時空錯覺，心想待會我過了這個山頭，一直沿著路走就會到宜蘭了。人類在世界各處建立自己的族群、屬地、國家，因此在世界上每個地方都有了國界，所以這些山河有了名字，土地有了分界。但這些都只是地理上的座標不同罷了，它們都同屬於地表的一部分，只是我們將它們區分開來了。

Two photos are separately mountain from Taiwan and Australia. Once when I drove along the mountain road somewhere in the Queensland, Australia. I saw nothing but trees, ferns and creeks, which is similar to the mountain landscape at medium elevation in Taiwan. Driving on the winding road I suddenly had a space and time illusion, that I'd drive to Yi-lan after this mountain. Human beings build up their own communities, territories, and nations on this world, thus create the boundaries. Mountains and rivers are named, lands are separated, but all these are nothing but geographic locations, they're all part of earth's surface. It's just that we differentiate them.

伊利薩山
Mt. Eliza

伊利薩山位於澳洲塔斯馬尼亞西南國家公園境內，我曾在2013年1月攀登此山。影片中我在Google Earth的3D建模世界中重新走了一次當時的攀登路線，與日記、對話並置，將這些不同層面的記錄方式疊合成另一個空缺的經驗。

Mt. Eliza is in the Westsouth national park of Tasmania, Australia. I climbed the mountain in January, 2013. In the video I repeat the route I climbed that time with 3D model of google earth. I display it with diaries and dialogues, and pile up an absent experience through different types of records.
