Theme: A 3-screen video installation, loop
Concept:
1. Replacing dialogues from my previous experience which is familiar to me (languagewise) to the present expereince I have in Weimar which is not comprehensible, given that German is not even my third language.
2. Synchronisation in movies.
3. It was how I usually make sense of something I could not understand, however given the visual can be a separate track for comprehensing experience, I can therefore invent a familiar audio that I can make sense out of the images.
Presentation and Content:
The installation shows two particular thing I did on two random days and the people I met in Weimar on three separate TV screens.
1. Screen 1 - The Screens
A collage of the footages of a WM game (Germany vs Ghana) that I was viewing on my laptop, including livestream, TV, youtube highlights, FIFA (playstation), while the audio is taken on the same time of the match from a Portuguese channel that I used to watch football games.
2. Screen 2 - The Park
It shows what I saw on a random day at the Park; dubbing of a Cantonese dialogue from a Hong Kong movie while the visual shows some German people talking.
3. Screen 3
A collage of distorted close ups of the people I met in Weimar with sounds they produced when they want to express (eg. emotionally) themselves.
