Da Capo Project

    The "Da Capo Project" employs a program that simulates an endlessly looping white spherical object within a virtual space. The trajectory of this spherical object changes in response to external sounds. The camera, representing the observer's perspective, moves forward at a constant speed, never stopping or retreating. The artist combines non-human abstract imagery with narrative recordings to recreate the processes of growth and decay in life and objects.

   The "Da Capo Project" consistently incorporates sounds from public transportation, such as subways, buses, or ferries. The title of each piece is the sequence number of the background sounds from public transportation. Public transportation inherently possesses predetermined destinations and unalterable routes, returning to their starting points after reaching their destinations. This Sisyphean, unidirectional repetition symbolizes the irreversible nature of life.

In the virtual world, black and white patterns continuously generate and disappear, creating rippling waves that symbolize the endless ferrying on the Sanzu River. The repetitive striking sound is that of a fish vendor killing fish in a bustling market, representing the sounds of nourishment, sustenance, life continuation, and death. In the face of the unalterable natural cycle of life, all that remains is humor and acceptance.

    A wedding and a rebirth through death. He transforms death from an inherent occurrence into a conscious act. Can a chosen death still be considered an existence? Death exists between knowledge and ignorance, with no visible summit above and no discernible bottom below. This concept echoes Heidegger's philosophy of "Being-towards-death," where the awareness of death shapes our existence and authenticity.

    The sounds of lovers grinding their teeth and breathing at night, conversations in bustling hotpot restaurants and karaoke bars, and people's responses to death. The overlapping sounds of sleep and the restless images of insomnia merge with the throbbing, pulsating rhythm of excitement and appetite, intertwined with narratives of regret and fading away.
