James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?

历代科学家都在被“宇宙中的万物到底从何而来”和“宇宙是如何诞生的”的这两大难题所困扰。近一百年，我们似乎找到了答案：宇宙是在过去有限的时间之前，由一个密度极大且温度极高的太初状态演变而来的，并经过不断的膨胀与繁衍到达今天的状态。由此宇宙大爆炸一说，得到了当今科学研究和观测最广泛且最精确的支持。 然而这一等同于科学事实的理论，却遭到一些科学家的质疑。他们相信大爆炸并不是宇宙真正的开始，我们的宇宙在此之前就可能有过生命迹象。这个可能会严重影响、甚至颠覆当今宇宙学支柱的理论，到底成立与否？就让我们共赴此次未知的极限之旅，去探索这个令人眼花缭乱的深奥谜团——宇宙大爆炸之前，到底发生了什么。
