Who is the Sick One

Who is the Sick One

Intro

Through this project, I explore the ways in which our humanity can be oppressed and stifled by larger forces. Titled "Who is the Sick One," the piece depicts the experience of being forced not to see, speak, hear, or feel under certain circumstances, as if being held captive by a powerful entity, such as the "Big Brother" or the highest players in society.

The artwork employs several head equipments, each representing a different aspect of this experience of being stuck and unable to express oneself. These equipments may include virtual reality headsets, noise-cancelling headphones, blindfolds, and other such items that limit or distort one's sensory experience of the world.

Through these visual elements, "Who is the Sick One" seeks to convey the feeling of being trapped and silenced by forces beyond our control. It asks the viewer to consider who is truly sick in this scenario - those who are oppressed and silenced, or those who hold the power to do so.

Ultimately, the piece raises questions about the nature of power and control, and the ways in which they can be used to manipulate and subjugate others. Through its evocative imagery and thought-provoking themes, "Who is the Sick One" invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of oppression and to consider the role they can play in creating a more just and equitable society.

通过这个项目,我探索了我们的人性如何被更大的力量压制和扼杀。这件名为“谁才是病态者”的作品描绘了在某些情况下被迫不看、不说、不听、不感受的经历,仿佛被一个强大的实体,如“老大哥”或高级玩家所控制。

数字短片包含了几种头部设备,每种代表着经历被困住和无法表达自己的不同方面。这些设备可能包括虚拟现实头戴设备、降噪耳机、眼罩和其他限制或扭曲一个人对世界的感知经验的物品。

通过这些视觉元素,“谁才是病态者”试图传达被控制和沉默的感觉。它让观众考虑在这种情况下谁真正是病态者——那些被压迫和沉默的人,还是那些有权利这样做的人。

最终,这个短片提出了关于权力和控制的问题,以及它们如何被用来操纵和压制他人的方式。通过其引人深思的意象和令人思考的主题,“谁才是病态者”邀请观众反思自己的压迫经历,并考虑他们在创造一个更公正、更平等的社会中所扮演的角色。
