The concept for the video was inspired by the philosopher Maurice Blanchot’s idea of [Vergehen]. I sought to visualize the intersections where things evolve over time in a video format. My aim is to convey the flow of time to the viewer, rather than presenting it as a conventional video. When the screen of my iPhone—something I touched frequently every day—finally broke, I became aware of the boundary and distinction between the two-dimensional information on the screen and my own three-dimensional existence. The cracked screen serves as a reminder of experiences familiar to every viewer and is echoed in the patterns I engraved onto the perspex.
A mirror on the floor reflects the video, symbolizing a parallel world and its simultaneous spatial repetition. In the video, abstract images move and transform into other forms. It was created using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), generating different images that merge to form entirely new, organic 'objects' as the video loops. The overlapping sequences, blending images with a kind of random fragmentation, represent the fleeting symbiosis of time's existence.
