Tango in a flooded castle, 2022
After observation and reflection, I decided to try to add some texture to the display of this work. After the experience of testing white sheets and tracing paper as projection screens, I decided to increase the texture of the work by changing the material of the projection screen. Because the theme of this work is about war, I chose the oil canvas with a bit of rough texture as the projection material to display.
The work is the last time I used it to make a digital sculpture, and the last time it was projected on transparent paper very well. However, I think transparent paper is more suitable for simply showing the state of digital characters.
The work itself is conversational and storytelling, and there is text in the video. In fact, this work itself is not a digital sculpture, but more like a story that takes place in space. Therefore, in the exhibition in July, I would like to express the story and inner anxiety about the identity of a woman.
And this kind of anxiety and sympathy for the characters, I hope that visitors can calm down and slowly experience it. So I chose the old TV and a small and private space to make it a warm, closed, and retention space. In the space, I put common household facilities such as chair, carpet in the space, and hope that the viewer can calm down with the purest perspective to experience the dialogue and state of the characters, just like watching TV in a dark room when he was a child. The element of retro appliances is added to the space in order to connect the theme with a deeper historical background.
