Double screens Video projection Installation, Stop-motion animation, 6 minutes, 1080p
    The video uses the interaction of two screens, and is made up of materials including body animation,multimedia images and performances. The visual and temporal disparity produced by the position,dislocation and juxtaposition of the two screens create a kind of interesting phenomenon:one that might perhaps cause people to investigate the source of representation of certain events.This is also a discussion concerning the cause and effect, control, mutual destruction and regeneration of the multiple relationships between everyday lives, texts,media and events. Additionally, the expression of the body language is not only a reflection of the ground's stimulation to the outside: the body itself is a source of imagination and energy, and an unrestrained vehicle. If consumerism and entertainment have disintegrated the political nature of the body, then I attempt in this video, by adopting the habitual means of entertainment and hedonism, to transform the basic attributes of body politics.
