The starting point of this thesis is the author’s own body experience: perception of space, time and things which came from years of exercise. As I sense the world in a new way, I started to re-think the relationship between body and surroundings: how body is dominated in the urbanization, everydayness city life. Based on my own physical experience, I try to make a exploration.
The film is composed of three types of physical activity: sleeping, eating and moving. From sleeping, we start kind of a sleepwalking of the spirit, and then transiting to eating and moving, finally back to sleeping, as a loop, in order to present people’s mental state in routine and empty daily life. The film also applies a variety of experimental film techniques, such as photogram, found-footage, as well as the conversion of different medias.
The thesis will discuss the film in three section, first is the motif and references: aim on body, image and social context. The second part is a review of author’s work, by the inspection of my creation on body and physical labor, I try to clarify my direction. Last I sum up the results to the experimental techniques and process, along with self-examination and conclusion.
