Infinite Points

 

Through magnifying the details of the city, the yet to be found memories transcends its chaotic state. Lee explores the order of narrative with fragments in the city. By observing and manipulating different archival footages from the news, such as the fire hazard from mini storage, umbrella movement, smog and so on, she extracts and enlarges the details. Consequently, such past events are positioned as alternative starting points to reconstruct a nameless space. The metaphors as invisible sky in the city bring all kinds of imagination for the future.

 

The flowing of  smoke brings a hollow and abstract metaphor. It keeps wandering in the air and then leave with traces of nothingness. The images tend to hide themselves in the world. Their blurry state cannot be shown in the thick smoke. The hollow and abstract flowing of smoke seems to be unable to stay in the air, but accumulates at many infinite points and then disperses. Nevertheless, it instantly glides to the front, like having its own will that continues to grow.

 

 

Each micro thing in the memories of the city may not be visible throughout these years. They are unexceptional but tingling, which are sometimes absent in our everyday life. The poetic smoke obscures the violence from afar, even you try to walk through the smog and stay in situ, you can only grasp some fragmentary stories from other people. It is impossible to distinguish those are real or fictional. Human wanders in the rupture between the narrative time and the fragmented trivium. Those afterimages that worth being remembered are eternality, or maybe nightmares. The unnamed micro objects hover along the borders; they are highly dependent in order to constitute their existence. The existence is born with tension and powerlessness.
