“Fat Shades”, 2008. HD video with sound, 16min, video still. Video courtesy of Biennale de Lyon via YouTube.

 

This video is composed from audio-visual recordings taken in South-East Asian countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Taiwan from 2007 to 2008. The picture plane is intended to resemble a  Japanese picture-scroll and moves slowly from right to left, while the end point of the footage is visually conjoined to the starting point in order to form a loop. The moving images, as well as the aural environments, are constructed by collating pictures and sounds taken in different places and at different times.
