AR Video and Installation 2022
My personal project 'Those Disappearing Girls' is a narrative horror short film from a female perspective, a non-linear narrative video based on an interactive experience. In it, girls face unpredictable and unjustified dilemmas and dangers that occur in everyday scenarios, where they are threatened by violence for various reasons and forced to disappear. My work is inspired by the violence suffered by women in recent years, where girls have been beaten, trafficked, stabbed, traded and married...... The story can only be filled with two words: cannibalism. When I heard that these innocent girls had been disappeared and destroyed, I could no longer control my tears. My anger and pain turned into a creative impulse and have always motivated me to fight for women's freedom and equality.
In my work there are images of men with ropes, women running, angry men, violent men, women being dragged away, women resisting, women fainting on the floor, etc. There are also visual elements associated with violence such as cages, chains, knives, bottles, hands grabbing downwards, etc. All these come from violent crimes that happen to women.
For my personal project, I invited volunteers to perform: those who suffer domestic abuse, those who are followed on the street, those who are knocked unconscious and dragged away, those who are in a hurry on the street and keep looking back, and so on. The performances I have filmed are shot in different camera positions, so that space and time can be broken up in AR and the interactive visual narrative can be seen from different positions in space.
In my work, the interaction with the viewer takes place through the recognition of different images. The images are written in different characters and languages as 'cages'. This is because society, law, technology, folklore and perception are the biggest cages for women. When the viewer turns on the phone and moves between the sheets, they will see a 'sculpture' modelled with visual effects in the frame, a video will be played and several video characters will be interspersed, and when all settings have been activated by the viewer, they will be able to see the world built by all the visual effects in the phone shot. Each person can have his own visual storytelling experience.
In connection with the theme of the work 'Those Disappearing Girls', a white cage was chosen as the subject of the installation, stacked high and not in a fixed form. Identifiable images are attached to the bottom of the cage and the viewer can scan the image of their choice around the cage. The inspiration of the images for recognition, comes from the colour of blood created by the female body, also suggests the occurrence of violence.
