video projecting onto a corner, tracing paper, video projection: 1 minute and 44 seconds video loop, surround sound
This Toronto-based work aims to capture countless ongoing events through the lens and then flatten them into a unified whole through collage, creating an urban landscape that transcends time and space, representing a cross-cultural experience. It conveys a spatio-temporal concept within the context of globalization. In this experiment, the artist uses a single corner as a medium to create an illusion of infinite space, where any surface connected to the corner—whether ceiling, floor, or wall—can evoke a sense of boundlessness. The randomness of the photographs serves as a metaphor on the contingency of modern times, as the images in the work were taken by different people at different times using various devices. The entire piece seeks to convey a paradoxical atmosphere: the left side represents the quiet, introspective state of a melancholic person drinking tea, while the right side symbolizes the noisy, chaotic external environment surrounding them, encouraging the viewer to reflect on uncertainty and self-existence. Accompanied by surround sound, recorded and enhanced with Foley effects, the work simulates the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto from morning to night, deepening the viewer's engagement with the spatial depth the projection aims to explore.

这件创作于多伦多的作品，通过镜头捕捉众多当下发生的事件，并将它们巧妙地拼贴成统一的整体，创造出一幅超越时空的城市景观。这不仅展现了跨文化的体验，更传达了全球化语境下的空间性时间概念。在这个实验中，艺术家巧用一个角落作为媒介，营造出无限空间的幻觉——无论是天花板、地板还是墙壁，任何与角落相连的表面都能唤起无边无际之感。作品中的图像来自不同人在不同时间用不同设备拍摄，这种随机暗喻现代的偶然性。整件作品呈现出一种独特的矛盾氛围：左侧展现了一个忧郁者独饮茶时安静、内省的状态，右侧则象征着喧嚣混乱的外部环境，引导观众思考不确定性与自我存在。作品还配以环绕立体声，通过精心制作的拟音效果，真实再现了多伦多市中心从晨至夜的车水马龙，让观众更深入地感受到投影所探索的空间维度。
