Mirage

When the clock strikes ‪10:00pm‬, a chorus of screams reverberate in midair between windows of the surrounding high-rises, creating a symphony-like background sound in my bedroom at nighttime ... The wave of unrest in this city has triggered my intimate feelings and emotions. Mirage began with the collection of narratives from my community via visual and auditory perceptions, and developed through my personal experiences and scenes embedded in my subconscious mind along the timeline of the movement. Inspired by the Situationist International (SI), the pre-recorded video narrates a solo derive in my community at nighttime. Through this video walk, viewers are transported into an interstitial space-time experience, in which the spectacles in a specific time superimpose with the reality, like existing in a parallel universe. To a certain extent, we are all spectacled spectators with false consciousness in the conformity of society if we are numb with the everyday phenomenon and absurdity which people are accustomed to.
