这个实验短片是对雅克·阿塔利（Jacques Attali）关于“声音暴力”理论的实践：“倾听即是接受，而接受，则是对自己‘正常化’的一场哀悼。” 每一个作品前的观众，都会成为这场对话的参与者，思考属于各自的沟通方式。
作品的声音设计为既定的“常规”听觉体验设置障碍。将“倾听”这个行为本身变成冲突 、 误解，但同时也是试图修复的过程。
语言不等于沟通，沟通也不等于交流。作品的“对话”希望超越语言这个载体，思考人与人之间超越语言的连接方式，以及真正与“他者”连接（或者无法连接）的原因。

This experimental short film is a practical engagement with Jacques Attali’s perspective on the violence of sound: “To listen is to accept, and to accept is to mourn one’s normality.” Every viewer standing in front of the work becomes a participant in this conversation, compelled to reflect on their own way of communication.
The sound design deliberately obstructs the conventional auditory experience. The very act of listening becomes a site of conflict and misunderstanding — and, at the same time, an attempt at reparation.
Language is not communication; communication is not connection. The “conversation” within this work seeks to reach beyond language as a medium, to consider the ways in which people connect beyond words — and the reasons why a genuine connection with the Other is, or is not, possible.
