In Bathroom Conductor, I conducted the Hungarian Waltz while wearing a white facial skin mask within a bathtub.
Included in the video is some iconic footage, such as the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony, the mass moonie marriage,
and a Nazi orchestra.
This is done in such a way so as to illuminate the metaphorical over-controlling political power, and its social impact.
Daily Ritual - Cutting Flower -

Daily Ritual-cutting flower- is a reflection on our controlled society and accesses the unspoken agreement in human relationships.
I begin by cutting beautiful randomly selected flowers in a ritualistic manner.
I conclude with a cautionary reading of the event’s surrounding the Tower of Babel from the Bible by a Dutch speaker, and it’s slightly changing to literal imagination scene with the rapid speed art auction voice.
The nature of these images and ideas range from the theological to the social and ideological.
Breathing Under the Deep Sea

Breathing Under the Deep Sea investigates a thought experiment.
In essence, it is as if I voluntarily stop to breathe to make sure that I am in control, and that I am not indeed ruled by outside forces.
This piece shows melancholic abstract puzzles. The contrast between boiling water and walking under the sea is the symbolic metaphor of this piece.
This is similar to a relationship between the water and air, as well as personal emotion and systematic restraint from the head.
I am not interested in figuring out the contrast, such as black or white, and happy or sad. My focus is more about the fluidity cobweb zone.
Unknown Myth

In this performance video piece, Unknown Myth illustrated the opening of the mental door to smash flowers. This art process is I call psychological mathematics.
For example, if I start with a wrong recognition of my voice, such as a wrong numerical formula during the building of content in the art piece
the logical tower will be a failure.
The difference from pure mathematics is that all of the pieces are not always having the correct answer. I am not sure about what is the correct answer.
I guess it’s closely connecting with my satisfaction of the work, but it’s not about perfection. Even if I reach at 1+2=4, it will make sense for me.
