來跟我在林里做夢: Come dream with me in the forest
Part of the Artist Brigade and commissioned by The Only Animal - June 2022
“來跟我在林里做夢” or Come dream with me in the forest is a short animation (5:09) based on the word “木”, which means tree. The Chinese language is pictorial and elegant in its forms. “林”, which is two trees combined means forest and “森” with three trees mean deep forest. “來”, which looks like a tree with two people underneath means come, while “本” can mean root or origin. Incorporating traditional Chinese calligraphy by Celia Leung, sound design by Robyn Jacob, and hand drawn and digital animation by Wen Wen Lu, the piece creates an image-based story of encountering and wonderment of the land.
