How much of your life is real, and how much of it is a performance? Do you ever find yourself presenting a version of yourself rather than simply being yourself? In a world of social media, personal branding, carefully curated photos, and constant self-presentation, have we forgotten the difference between authentic experience and performance?
Join ICEX, an award-winning sound designer, musician and filmmaker, for a fascinating discussion exploring how modern life has become a stage, and how art and cinema saw it coming long before Instagram existed. Through scenes from films such as The Truman Show, The Square, and Her, we'll examine the tension between who we are and who we appear to be. Why do so many people feel pressure to look happy, successful, productive, and in control? What happens when our public identity starts to matter more than our private reality? Together, we'll use cinema, visual culture, psychology, and our own experiences to explore one of the defining questions of modern life: are we living our lives, or performing them?
你的生活,到底有多少是真实在过,有多少其实是在“表演”?你有没有发现,自己有时候并不是在做自己,而是在呈现一个“更合适”的版本?在社交媒体、个人品牌、精修照片和持续自我展示的时代里,我们是不是慢慢忘了真实体验和表演之间的边界?
来跟 ICEX 一起参与这场很有意思的讨论吧。ICEX 是一位获奖的声音设计师、音乐人和电影制作人,这次他会带大家从一个更有意思的角度去看现代生活:其实我们每个人某种程度上都在“舞台”上生活,而艺术和电影其实很早就已经预见到了这一点,甚至在 Instagram 出现之前就已经讲过类似的故事了。通过《楚门的世界》《The Square》《Her》等电影片段,我们会聊聊“我们是谁”和“我们看起来是谁”之间的张力。为什么很多人都会有压力,觉得自己必须看起来快乐、成功、高效、可控?当一个人的“公众形象”开始比真实生活更重要时,会发生什么?我们会结合电影、视觉文化、心理学以及每个人自己的经历,一起讨论一个很现实的问题:我们是在生活,还是在表演生活?
