Still Life is a series of random and dull video creations like life.

"Some things, once you've loved them, become yours forever. And if you try to let them go, they only circle back and return to you. They become part of who you are. Or they destroy you." - Allen Ginsberg

Still life Still series

The still life series originates from the dialectics of the interaction between the self and all things. The characters in the images, as beings approaching stillness, realize the interaction between space, material, perception, emotion and people between movement and stillness. Through the synchronicity and objectivity of the long shot, the viewer can enter the work at the same time, and at the same time, a new interactive relationship between people and objects can be constructed in the viewing behavior, so that the "I" in the image can flow to the scene. The "I" of the movie.

"When the World Said" Video Microfilm Exhibition

This film exhibition "When the World Said" selected four videos "The Nude", "The Desire", "The Ice" and "The Trace" from the still life series. Scoring, through the guidance and intervention of external things, outlines the deformation of body and mind. At the same time, it challenges the essence of narration with a still state that is almost like a flat image as the plot. This mini-exhibition uses the club function of the Akaswap platform as the performance space. Each work in this series is not numbered, but is displayed in the form of blocks, which is different from the physical exhibition, which has a fixed sequence established during the curation. , the online space can provide more randomness and interactivity for movie viewing, enabling dialogue between works and works, and forming montage-like clips during movie viewing.
