I’m intrigued by the harmoniously integrated relationship between accidental moments and scenes that have been rehearsed, and gradually develop an open narrative on the basis of such relationship. I ponder more on if it’s possible to establish a different cognitive foundation than on the style of story-telling or performing. I often ask myself that, but I’m not sure whether there’ll be an answer. Perhaps the answer lies in the finalized video work.

The project Collector, first of all, is a metaphor of the experimental video-making journey. It’s like a group of blind people trying to feel the shape of an elephant. The variety of approaches to handle camera lens, in a sense, can be seen as a way to feel the shape of an elephant. As a result, a shape living in imagination is constructed. Geothermal heat is a description of reality that gradually comes into being during this journey.

Sometime, when you observe the surroundings and people around you in detail, you will capture those hidden traces. That connect with your inner heart. During these moments, you will forget the existence of the physicality of yourself on the subject; only feelings and ideas are flowing. This is precisely the starting point of a fiction. You are the audience. The existence is objectified and becomes a film or a play.

Seek for community, seek for geothermal heat, seek for fracture......, returning again from countless branch paths, and change again the way.
