Untitled II

Untitled II, single-channel video, dimension variable

Untitled is my early video work dealing with identity trapped in written language, which ceaselessly controls our way of thinking and behaving. The words shown in these video are what society commonly uses to define who I am; my name, nationality, place of birth, occupation, beliefs, interests. Although these words form important aspects of my identity, they often conflict with how I define myself, leaving the question: what makes me who I really am? In Untitled II, I spit out a strip of paper which these defining words are cut out from. I find the process of making art as a means of exploring deeper my own self-hood, through visualizing abnormal metaphors or performative actions.
