The Evanescent

2017, Single-channel video, 5”12, loop, colour, sound
Sound by Eric Dongho You. Experimental video made by live improvisatory performance



What you initially see is not what you remember.
Shapes start to vibrate.
Borders of figures begin to mingle with surroundings.
Colours lose their originality.
Your present begins to draw a perceptual frame out of what you physically experience.
You’re becoming the interior of the frame, giving it a new phenomenon.


The Evanescent was created through visual superimpositions and improvisatory performance that retransform its initial footage into the innermost imaginative one.
