The concept of “passage” and “mirror” serves as the imagery of this work. I compare time to a passage that keeps moving forward, deconstructing the images that have “occurred” and reconstructing the “rear-view” images that continue passing away. I intend to place the viewer in a chronological journey, examining the time as checking the rear-view mirror. In such a journey of time, one cannot stop the movement and may experience irreversible loss. You may not be able to catch the images hastily fading away; however, you clearly witness the image of you taken a second ago being swallowed by the passing of time mercilessly.

I use the video feedback feature and the loop delay quality to create a time tunnel effect. The second camera captures the viewer’s image, which will be composited onto the main feedback image through real-time image-matting technology and video image compositing techniques. The work will thus create visual imagery of drifting through a tunnel of time.

「徑」與「鏡」為作品的形象與意象，把時間喻為一條行進中的空間路徑，將「發生過」的影像進行解構，重組在這行進中的「後視」影像。意圖將觀者置入時序的旅程，如同檢視後視鏡般的對經過的時間進行校閱。在這時間的旅途裡，行進運動無法遏止，感受難溯回的流失狀態。你或許抓不到影像飛逝的倉促，卻可以清楚看見自己前一秒鐘的過去影像，正被時間毫無留情地吞噬消失！
此作品的呈現方式是藉由攝影機反饋（feedback）的特性，形成時間隧道的效果，此時另一台攝影機捕捉觀賞者的身影，藉由程式的即時去背與合成技術，將觀賞者的剪影以跳格的方式合成至反饋影像上，產生如同漂流於時光隧道的視覺意象。
