这段影像记录了在海拔4300米,冰雪尚未融化的早春,我追溯着白海螺相关的线索,寻到了一位拥有古老白海螺的牧民。我邀请他携着从母亲手里继承下来的白海螺,围绕着牧区的古老海子(高山湖泊)度过了一天。我试想在那一天,记录在这片曾是汪洋的大地上,重新出现的海螺之声,但最终他费尽力气地吹奏,却都未令白海螺响彻。


*“墨尔基阿德斯的咒语”来自于《百年孤独》中兜售稀奇事物的吉普赛人,他告诉布恩迪亚家族的第一代男人,“任何东西都有生命,一切在于如何唤起它们的灵性。”因此买下他手中的“魔铁”并大声念出他的咒语,说不定就能开采地底下的金属。于是,男人用一头骡子和一群山羊换来了两块磁铁,并念着吉卜赛人的咒语,一块一块地查遍了整个地区,连河底也没有放过。他唯一发掘出来的东西,仅是一副十五世纪的盔甲。
