- Quit ItI have been thinking about the idea that complete interpersonal connection is impossible. I realised that I had not been able to accept that idea and I still had the desire of filling the gap. Influenced by Lacan’s theory about self and other, I feel I still cannot let go of the desire of a unity, a non-differentiation, a non-separation, a merging with others. But the lack, or absence, disconnection is the condition to become a functional being. The inability to accept the separation between sel
- Can You Direct Me, PleaseInspired by my recent “relationship”, I feel my mind is not in my body. It’s attached to the other. While the other cannot be reached, my body is lost. It becomes functionless. It reminds me of Lacan’s theory: But of course this is impossible, because that lack, or absence, the sense of “other”ness, is the condition for the baby becoming a self/subject, a functioning cultural being.

- Can You Seat Me, PleaseInspired by my recent “relationship”, my unfulfilled desire for answers/clarification/recognition from the other makes me restless/unsettled. I’m anxiously longing for getting positioned/fixed, inspired by Lacan’s theory: This sense of self, and its relation to others and to Other, sets you up to take up a position in the Symbolic order, in language. Such a position allows you to say “I”, to be a speaking subject. “I” (and all other words) have a stable meaning because they are fixed, or anchor
- Hold/HeldThe dependence of my self-existence on others is the reason why I am holding on to the relationship although it is hurting me. It falls to a conflict of holding on to an illusion of self-existence and its damage to my actual existence.[1] In the series of moving images, Hold/Held, I use mirror to stand for the fragile relationship as a mediation for self-existence. The physical state where the body cannot move unless dropping and breaking the mirror held on to is inspired by Erwin Wurm’s photogr
- ParasiteDomestic space is also materialized mental space that I do not belong to or dominate. Within the emptiness of both the mental and physical interior, it takes constant effort to attempt to occupy, inhabit and learn to control my own identity as well as the space where I am supposed to be the host. However, the desire and inability of dwelling leads to the inevitability of restlessness, homelessness and despair.[1] I live as a parasite depending on a host dominating or saving me. The concept of th
- ClothesEmotionally, I cannot depend on myself or put myself together. Physically, it is a state where there is no bone my body can attach to. The projected physical condition of my body where no structure is contained reminds me of clothes that do not contain a body, which are formless and easily manipulated. Clothing and a body are both containers, the value of whose existence depends on what is contained.[1] The relation between the body and clothes is also influenced by Wong Kar-wai’s film, Chungkin
