Synopsis:
Remote Life Drawings is an animated collage that visually explores the unique neighbourhood of Taipei Artist Village (TAV), situated at the heart of four distinct districts in central Taipei. Through morphing animation, I connect these districts, capturing the complex, ever-changing atmosphere surrounding the village. The abstract imagery reflects the harmony and fluidity between these areas, offering a glimpse into the dynamic and multifaceted environment of TAV.

Fear is part of our identity, it is our everyday life and we experience it in different ways. We grow up with it, and over time we overcome or suppress it. However, it is always present, transforms itself into something else, follows our steps, and enters our dreams. It is said that fear has big eyes, they grow where we meet the unknown and then, to some aspects of reality, such as time, we give unrealistic proportions. Only when the fear is overcome, the eyes shrink and the picture becomes clearer.

Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.

I was playing basketball until I entered college. During a basketball game, when I stole an opponent’s ball and attacked in haste, I felt my body started moving as fast as an army brain. I still get this feeling sometimes, even now that I no longer play basketball.
