「虛擬－紀錄片」——吳柏泓《我的敘利亞鄰居》之雙重模糊性建構

本研究主要探討在虛擬實境作為紀錄片的新興表現形式下，紀錄片的定義如何被擴展，又如何理解虛擬實境紀錄片中虛擬幻象與紀錄真實的議題。首先以紀錄片與虛擬實境的歷史梳理為起點，討論在媒介與技術的轉變下如何影響兩者的發展與定義，並以導演吳柏泓《我的敘利亞鄰居》作為討論虛擬實境紀錄片的實際案例，因此作品是以臺灣人的真實故事為啟發所創作的作品，且為臺灣少數以虛擬實境為手法來創作的紀錄片。最後將以虛擬連續統（virtuality continuum）概念試圖理解虛擬實境紀錄片中的雙重模糊性，以此印證及檢視《我的敘利亞鄰居》中的創作手法與觀者感受。

This article aims to explore how the definition of documentary filmmaking is expanded because of the emergence of virtual reality as a new medium for documentary. It also investigates that how the dialectic relationship between the illusionary virtual and the documentary real can be comprehended within“Virtual Reality (VR) Documentary.”Departure from the historical perspective of documentary and virtual reality, the article attempts to discuss how the evolution of media technology leaves an imprint on the development and definition of both documentary and virtual reality. Taking an example from Director Wu Po-Hung's VR documentary“My Syrian Neighbors,”which stands out to be one of the few VR documentaries in Taiwan and inspired by the real stories of Taiwanese individuals, the article attempts validate and examine the creative technique and viewer experiences in“My Syrian Neighbors”by utilizing the concept of the virtuality continuum in order to comprehend the dual ambiguity presence in VR documentary.
