Gene Takes A Drink 《金恩喝水》

 

《金恩喝水》是「貓攝影機」的系列作品之一，由我的貓金恩所拍攝。

金恩是一隻戶外貓，從窗戶跑出去到花園，通常都大半天才回來。有時候牠會玩上一天一夜，有時候則是好幾天沒回來。有次牠好幾天沒回來之後，我在牠的項圈上裝了一台小攝影機，好紀錄牠去了哪裡。

在影片中，金恩在花園池塘喝水時把攝影機浸在水中好幾次。影片中所有的效果都是機內完成，多虧了金恩的介入。

Gene Takes A Drink is one of a series of “cat cam” videos that my cat Gene has shot.

We live in the East Village of Manhattan, next to a community garden.

 

Gene is an outdoor cat in NYC, leaving the house through a window into the garden, and typically spending at least half the day outside. Sometimes he spends all day and all night, and sometimes he does not return for many days.

 

Once after he had disappeared for a few days, I mounted a small camera on his collar to record where he went.

 

Among other things, I discovered that he spent some time in the garage of the local police precinct.

In this video, he submerges the camera multiple times while drinking from a pond in the community garden behind our home.

All the effects on the video are made “in-camera” as a result of Gene’s intervention.
