从屏幕开始蔓延

EXTENDING OUTWARD FROM THE SCREEN

詹姆斯·理查兹的影像创作不是从一个确切的规划开始的。当他开始制作一部新片时,首先会选取一段中心脚本,然后再添加片段。这些脚本可能来自艺术家拍摄或先前完成的作品,但大多数来自YonTube视频、某部电影片段、无名DVD或磁带,或其他艺术家的作品,电视节目等等。詹姆斯在视频中使用的图像通常飘浮不定。

JAMES RICHARDS＇ VIDEO art does not begin with a defi- nite plan. When he begins a new film, he first chooses a central script, then adds extra scenes. These scripts might come from films made by the artist himself or from his own existing completed works, but the majority are taken from YouTube videos, scenes from movies, untitled DVDs and video tapes, other artists＇ works, or television shows. Richards often uses unsteady images in his videos; he also reuses content from his other works.
