皮膜作為科幻介面電影《鈦》的混成身體

2021年獲得坎城影展金棕櫚獎、由法國導演杜古荷諾執導的電影《鈦》彷彿是一面劇烈變化的皮膜，將生命與存有、技術與倫理等問題顯現於身體表面，並以肉身與機械的融合，探討科技、身體改造等議題。同時，《鈦》亦混雜多種風格類型，使得電影整體融匯成異質的音像混成體。本文將皮膜視作一處持續變異的科幻介面，釐清《鈦》藉由發生於身體表層的各種事件所開啟的獨特創造。從電影的觸覺感知建構裡，即可理解肉身與金屬的相互嵌合，並從中揭露位於技術系統內的身體存有。而在流變為機器的過程中，則經由爬梳電影史裡不同科幻身體的變形歷程，思考成為技術存有的身體，如何在與外部環境的交互中改變自身。透過《鈦》的科幻構成，將可釐清生命不斷重塑的狀態，創造出一具混融異質元素的混成身體。

The film Titane directed by French director Julia Ducournau is like a skin that is constantly changing, revealing questions of life and being, technology and ethics. Through the composition of flesh and machine, Titane explores gender, technology, body modification, post-human, and cross-species issues. This exploration is done by mixing science fiction, horror, murder, and other genres, making the film a heterogeneous audio-visual pastiche. This paper regards skin as a science fiction interface to explain how Titane creates the events that occur on the body. From the tactile perception construction of the film, we can first grasp the encounter and composition of flesh and metal, revealing how the body exists in the technical system. In the process of becoming-machine, this essay also refers to various metamorphic bodies in the history of science fiction films so as to think about how the body becomes a technical being that can change itself in the interaction with the external milieu. Through the science fiction amalgamation of Titane, I will clarify the state of the contemporary body which is constantly shape-shifting between technology, environment, society as well as text—a pastiche body that merges with heterogeneous elements.
