A Private Collection (2mins excerpt)

A Private Collection, HD, stereo, 2016, 13’33″

In collaboration with Chaw Su, Kyaw Moe

The interviews in the video derive from a Myanmar migrant couple’s introduction of their DVD collection. Working in a Taiwanese factory three hours from Bangkok and often having to work overtime, their limited pastime is spent mainly on watching movies. The film collection and the sequences being introduced in the video originate from their large pirate collection. As the host of the screening program, they described how the DVDs entered their lives when they bought them from the vendor next to the temple, and simultaneously how the television screen in their living room became their way of understanding the world.

影片中的訪談來自於一段緬甸移工情侶收藏的DVD影片介紹，在距離曼谷三小時車程的台商工廠中工作的她們，除了工作與加班生活外，特別喜歡看著電影享受不多的工餘時光，而片中介紹的電影及影像片單就來自於她們眾多的盜版DVD收藏。她們作為放映節目的選片人，介紹這些來自於廟旁攤販的盜版DVD如何進入她們的日常生活，同時在客廳中的螢幕視窗也成為她們認識世界一種方式。
