In this video work, two narratives unfold: the quest in a video game level about looking for three missing friends, and a conversation between two game players with unspecified relationship around a deadly school shooting. It is an attempt to discover but at the same time blur the connections between events and thoughts. The work tries to deal with the delicate issue of gun violence and video game, a issue more specific to the American context where I was situated at the time. It centers around the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, on which the State Attorney's final report devoted an entire chapter to the shooter's gaming habits and provides detailed accounts on different aspects of the shooter’s engagement with video games.
我在2017年做过一段研究和一系列图像作品，关于数字世界与现实社会的各种纠缠事件，过程中读到一份美国检察官对某校园枪击案的结案报告，当中花了一整个章节叙述疑犯的电脑游戏爱好。影像作品《你能帮我搬这石头吗》，衍生于这个事件，并经过多次重构，先被制作成一个电脑游戏关卡，又从中提取出游戏画面和叙事元素，并与现成素材一起重组为最终的影像。场景中的物件（例如键盘、泡面、分级标签等）不仅为游戏关卡中的叙事服务，同时又指向“游戏”这一媒介本身。
