The performance piece, Daily Ritual vol.1(2008) is about control of chaos. I made a subconscious controlled situation by the 300 sq. feet of space sculptural installation. Using objects such as business shirts, colorful pacifiers, a broken computer, an IV, wrapping of clear plastic, and a hidden teddy bear, I deconstructed the symbols of personal dogma. I tied my body with many colorful tubes. During the performance, I played a voice-over that gave me quests, for instance, “Be strong,” “Be honest yourself,” “Thanks to people”…etc with limited time. The sound manifests a priest sermon that they give people a hint or guide for better life. It, however, always has the limited of human thoughts under the “God” control. Each time for the actions, I had a choice what I am going to do for the task. The other to say the choice is always controlled and limited by something.
