The old man was dreaming about the lions – Volume Ⅰ
2019, 30min 34sec

The old man gets up early in the morning, drinks water, shakes the dust off his socks, and prepares to stand up. Behind the old man’s back is the sound of his sleep talking last night. During the day, the wrinkled body of the old man moves very slowly, checking bills and going out. At night, the body of an old man who falls asleep makes an incomprehensible sleep talk. The images of daytime physical activity and the sounds of night are mixed together, and the environments surrounding his body and residence intervene in the slow-flowing time of the old man. It’s such a familiar place for the elderly born and raised in the village, but now it’s become a place where you can’t go on your own. The scenery around the village leads to the old man’s living space at the end of the video. All the spaces except the room where the old man was asleep have old objects, indicating that it was once crowded with his family. If you walk around the house with the sound of the old man’s sleep talking and deep breaths, you will stop in front of a scene that connects reality and dreams.
The old man was dreaming about the lions – Volume Ⅱ
2019, 19min 01sec
The work tells stories of the life of three generations. The video, made up of three main scenes of virtual landscapes, carving a spherical object and skating, unfolds like a sticker. Each scene takes place with a long interval, which revolves around the experience of three generations. These stories raise a fundamental question of life, seeing the world we live in from a virtual perspective according to the acts of carving a sphere, running on ice and making our way through life. It presents different ways of life from different generations living today in various ways, along with a mixture of a narrative language and sounds generated from the image itself.
