Directing
There may be a hidden thing in ordinary everyday life. Back of a window, behind a curtain. I expressed otherness in my lived life and an obsessional atmosphere with indefinable elements on the video work.I used a habit of scratching my arm with bare nails, and curtains to output the feelings figuratively. I combined static scenes and active scenes to reflect the difference between when I can control myself and when I can not, the perceptive reaction and alienation, the unstable touch.
An experimental artwork. The animation focuses on our life that is involved in flood of oversupply. The main theme is “violence on everyday life”. Females sexual use for a media and related circumstances are the connotation. Magazines, TV, Internet, females bodies are selling by the piece. Nowadays, people used to watch it, and we have no incongruity for it. Is it Okay? I expressed the suggestion from my question, a discomfort what my conscious is compulsorily remade with erosion, and the distorted situation of the real world where the information has gone, on this artwork.
General scenes which exist in everywhere are the theme of the animation work. The inception was the feelings of “to control” and “to be controlled” in everyday life. I searched the impulse to control my work, where has it come from? This is the reason that I engaged Path tool for the animation and Mask function of AfterEffects for the mask animation. These manipulations worked automatically in PC to generate motions between scenes, equally it create uncontrollable part by myself.
This is an experimental work that I constructed an animation from preliminary doodles on my accumulated note books. The preliminary doodles were an role of entrance, I focused on noises which have been occurring in my activities in every single day. The resolution was edited to be 4K. And I engaged scenes of 640 x 480 resolution, too. Then I was conscious of the generated noises by images resolution inevitably. Normally, the noises are the part of elements it should be removed for the finished work. But I groped for some kind of creative boundaries for the elements.
“My mother is a ghost. My father is a cat. He is an elementary school teacher." Its characters have a sense of deja vu, its story remains scattered and unassembled - everything about this animation embraces the maintain- ing of stress and tension. What underlies the "digital native" sensibility that computers are just another “nature" is the sense that “something (a program) is running underneath"... Watch for the beautiful final scene that brings here and there back to the start.
