Intro：
在一段长江的两岸，矗立着一些造船车间，造船工人在多艘在建的巨轮上窸窣忙碌着。这些巨轮是为一个德国客户打造的，每艘价值1500万欧元。短片《殼》记录了造船工人的日常工作状态：他们忙碌的身影消失在机器的喧嚣声中，淹没在生产和消费的全球化循环中，而他们自身也是这个循环的参与者。
从短片中，我们看到了他们工作和生活的场景，但《殼》的任务不只是简单地向人们展示这些通常鲜为人知的画面。外面的浓雾和船壳内部的阴暗不是为了展示视觉朦胧感，而是用来影射热火朝天的工作场面与捉摸不定、呼风唤雨的跨国资本流之间的脱节。短片接近尾声时，有段小插曲：温暖的赭色调画面展现出身体的力量与优雅，暂时让观者将现代化的洪流抛诸脑后。
On both sides of a section of the Yangtze River stand a number of shipbuilding workshops, with shipbuilders rustling around on a number of huge ships under construction. These giant ships are built for a German client and are worth 15 million euros each. The short film "Shell" documents the daily work of the shipbuilders: their busy figures disappear into the noise of the machines, drowning in the globalized cycle of production and consumption, in which they themselves are participants.
From the short film, we see scenes of their work and life, but the task of "Hull" goes beyond simply showing people these often little-known images. The fog outside and the gloom inside the hull are not meant to demonstrate visual haziness, but rather to insinuate a disconnect between the heat of the workplace and the elusive, whirlwind flow of transnational capital. Near the end of the short film, there is a small interlude: the warm ochre tones of the images show the strength and grace of the body, temporarily allowing the viewer to leave the flood of modernity behind.
