对图像的阅读是《世界的图像及战争的铭文》的核心。法罗基在这部影片中呈现了他对图像一贯的矛盾情绪，渴求相信图像无可比拟的揭示事实的能力，同时又对它怀有最深的不信任。从Albrecht Meydenbauer通过摄影测量建筑、一群学生在画室进行人体模特素描，到运用仪器绘制建筑图，影片向我们展示了图像在“保存”铭刻于其上的客体与现象时，亦已通过将它们转化为数据的形式最终将其“破坏”。在战争图像中，这种“双重能力”变得更加凸显，制造、阅读图像的技术和杀戮的技术在战争中重合，暴露在镜头中的目标即是将被攻击的对象。我们在这种阅读中重新审视美军“意外”捕捉到的奥兹维辛的航拍照片，或阿尔及利亚妇女被强制在镜头前摘去面纱的“证件照”。关于影像的科技、文化系统开始变得异常复杂、无解。

在这部《未来今日》的前传中，过去与现在交汇，纳伦德拉和阿让的人生也第一次产生交集。

青春的浪潮席卷，我在记忆中寻求我的往昔。睁眼，闭眼，犹如指间沙中的回忆，点点滴滴，涌上心头。一幕幕的场景仿若旋转木马，在我的眼前游离而过，我在记忆中沉沦，不可自拔。

一个由于遭受毒品侵害而丧失妻儿的警察局侦探，以自己的方式单枪匹马地破获了一起贩毒案，并杀死了三名毒贩。影片以侦探故事为背景，展现了现实生活中迷惘的人群和厌世心理。

The project seeks to reflect about the image, and its contemplative experience from the factors of time, color and movement. We focus our view on the human-landscape relationship, facing it in two temporal dimensions: the geological and human. This definition synthesize well the will of the project: “The landscape are layers of time condensed into an image”. We seek to merge different temporal layers into a single image, proposing two exploration lines: emphasize the ephemeral and fleeting passage of man over the territory; and invite to a leisurely contemplation showing the poetry and mystery of the movements of landscape.

Perception changes ambiguously between moving images and sound. 　　I went on a journey by water. I had been gazing at the calm sea for hours on the back deck. Before my eyes was endless sky, the nearly leaning sea horizon, strong sunlight shining on the surface of the water, and trails on the sea traced by the ship. The sound were of the engine and waves, vibrations propagated through the ship hull, and a pleasant breeze. I’m trying to sense every moment. I am here to watch the sea. Thinking this, I will daydream even before I know it. Occasional whistles make the scene in front of me clear.

《图像研究》是一部桌面录屏作品，一幅罗兰·巴特抽烟的照片窗口缩小后，旋即弹出的窗口中是一段由电脑的前置摄像头所拍摄下的卷烟教学视频。与“如何去卷一根完美的香烟”同时出现在电脑桌面上的，是“如何去制作一副完美的图像，在这个窗口中，艺术家挪用了不同影像中的“教学片段”：从 Youtube上的 Photoshop教学，到哈伦・法罗基所拍摄下的《花花公子》杂志封面的制作过程，再到电影《放大》中商业影棚的拍摄场景……与这些不同的“如何去……”所对应的，是艺术家本人在作品中所做出的声明：“我，除非在万不得已的情况下，才会使用摄影机”，他的意思大概是在景观社会永远在场的现今，我们已无需生产出更多新的图像去制作一部影片。（OCAT 上海馆）
