- 摘要：In his 2020 short film Salvage, director Christopher Boulton invokes a Marxist notion of alienation—from experience, from being in the world, from objects—in this meditation on our relationship with objects we prize as exotic, antique. These items may, at least for a time, satisfy our longing for what we imagine are authentic experiences, for “real” existence, having romanticized the actual experiences and lives from which they are derived. To make them precious now is to recognize how apart we are from the physical world that we inhabit so uncomfortably. They then function not as spirit guides, but as matter guides, anchoring us to the world in a way that is a reprieve from our simulated, Pergo-lated lives.
