I dream of surplus
A narrative-less form that comprises a lot of image manipulation. This is one of the earlier works that was conceived. The project works like a directory of images. The piece functions as a visual experiment than anything else. I am still trying to find a character who is suitable to narrate ideas behind the work. There have been attempts to utilise the images in several performance lectures so this is also a future possibility.The process involved a collaboration with sound artist, Wu Junhan, who provided feedback on how I should arrange the images and possibilities of presenting them too. There is no conclusion as of yet.
