In the field / China / 2010 / 3’16 / 16:9
The video In the field investigates humanity by exposing the interaction between human beings and nature through observations that partially reveal an unpredictable connection between the internal world and external surfaces. A landscape reconfigured by design in an otherwise non-deliberate physical world, which once might have been familiar to human beings, suddenly feels alien in this context.
