Witness
Tsai Tsung-hsun (Taiwan)
A driving scene of waiting for lights or events is being restored, by filming a man-made scene with models on a dashboard camera. Images on these cameras are often employed as evidence that aim to restore the course of events, implying a sense of documentation and proof. But my concept is to let the viewer to witness a loop in which nothing happens.
Artist’s Statement
I try to re-create a driving scene by capturing the movements of models and using mechanical motion and imaging pieces of paper. Through an artificial method, I loop the image sequence intended for documentation and surveillance to a state of absurdity.
