这件影像作品记录了一群高中生集体做广播体操《时代在召唤》的场景，镜头在过程中逐渐聚焦于其中一位学生。与周围整齐运动的身体相比，她的动作显得更加即兴、自发，并轻微偏离既定的规范，却依然充满生命力。这种细微的偏差，构成了一种嵌入日常秩序之中的“柔性抵抗”。
This video work depicts a group of high school students performing Times Are Calling—one of the most familiar sets of radio calisthenics in the everyday lives of Chinese middle and high school students—with the camera gradually focusing on one individual. In contrast to the surrounding bodies moving in strict unison, her movements appear spontaneous, improvised, and slightly misaligned with the prescribed form, yet remain full of vitality. This subtle deviation becomes a manifestation of “soft resistance” embedded within everyday routines.
