言外之意
Dein Und Mein Dasein Und Das Dasein Der Welt

无所不在的政治话语形式如何潛移默化地塑造了我们的视角?更具体地说,塑造了我们的 “Dasein”(我們面向世界的存在)?
A proverb often used to describe the relationship between power and democracy in China says: “Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.”
Taking up this metaphor of water as a socio-political current, this immersive installation invites us to feel the underlying forces of history. A 3D-modeled ocean, divided between two projection screens, is traversed by two symbolic entities. First appears an aircraft carrier, representative of military authority, playing a crucial role in international relations. Then emerges a tsunami — an uncontrollable force of nature — that seems to be pursuing it. Between the two screens, the audience is literally traversed by these elements, mirroring individuals carried and swept away by the currents of the present.
In synchronization with the video, the sound unfolds in multiple layers, blending historical archives, political speeches, and natural sounds, diffused through an octophonic (8.2) sound system distributed across the space. This total kinesthetic experience reflects the difficulty of fully grasping the multiplicity of perspectives in a hyperconnected society.
