Void Circulation
6'40", 2019
When chaos reaches a certain threshold, distinctions lose their necessity—matters, meanings, messages, even notions of good and evil dissolve. What remains is a neutral state of existence, without bias, prejudice, or judgment—simply being, in the vast cycle of nature, within a larger continuum of life, entering the void.
Notes*
Void Circulation unfolds across four parts, each exploring the algorithms of space and time. The procedural relationships among the scenes could be traced, connecting them to a technological imagination of a possible future, where objects become extensions of the body, and bodies are nurtured by objects.
In the work, there is space, and the appearance of a body in space. An object is placed—once created, it stands alone, detached from its maker, yet carrying the historical imprints of its making. Through their interwoven extensions, the objects and body generate the reconstruction of certain time-space. The arrangement follows a certain algorithm, but could be re-shuffled, reordered, and re-configured through another as a cyclical process of a Sisyphus in a new order.
