The Unwanted Scar

THE UNWANTED SCAR is a docufiction that explores the relationship between the power to reconstruct reality and the ability to reshape identity. Lu Shan interweaves personal memories into the portrait of a declined amusement park to create a nostalgic image. The use of different cameras and texts deconstructs the hierarchy of the visual elements. The eventual pixelated outcome of zooming into an image becomes a metaphor. “How is zooming into an image less violent than dissecting emotions?”
