Visual Metaphor

There was a previously an exhibition where the artist record the vision of outside through the cover of a mask. We absorbed the ideas and reflected on our own situation.

We put the overall narrative under the context of pandemic and community lock-down. Since the beginning of April, we have been under strict lock-down. Life has been irresistibly shaped and our perception of the outside world was altered subtly as well.

Our concept is by presenting a stream of consciousness, or someone’s thinking flow to convey our feeling and thoughts under such circumstances.

We started with a shot using a lamp as the light source and did the shooting through a mask. Also like the bleary-eyed state when we wake up.

We intentionally took the photo behind bars and blurred the image.

Then combine it with some rough texture and old movie effects.

(As we cannot go out and see stuff, we perceive the world like through a filter and rely on social media, that so much information come to us everyday which we cannot tell whether it is true or not)

 

We wanted to apply the different form of movement from water as a metaphor.

Transition: little drops and ripples to big flush of water

                  little restlessness to strong wild crave for experience outside
