臨時工 Temporary

許慧如 HSU Hui-Ju 2017 台灣 彩色 30分鐘 DCP
被棄置的工廠、打零工的工人、及城市邊緣圍牆上被層層塗抹的尋找工人圖文,骯髒卑微卻強烈鮮明。他們不見容於主流的價值、美學,被驅趕、擠壓到城市的最邊陲,在功利地被使用完畢之後,隨即遭到丟棄。他們是現代化工業歷程的遺跡,反映出「工」在社會階層的處境。我們試圖以非典型紀錄片的拍攝手法,記錄這種存在感日漸消失的邊緣景況,這些影像彷彿提醒我們,城市中隱藏了一種即將消亡的荒涼與生猛,它們正在尋找生存的可能。

This film is told through the examples of temporary workers, in an abandoned factory and by the signs on the wall saying “help wanted”, in order to reflect the reality of the working class. They are the “relics” of the modern industrialization process, cast aside to the empty and barren edge of urban cities. We hire three real-life temporary workers to play the temporary workers in the film. They live between the real and the virtual worlds, between the city and wilderness, and between family and rootlessness.
