simulacra

Simulacra is a short-moving image work discussing the dynamic genesis of sense represented by an object of the tree. Following the movement, the tree’s partial becomes a unity, and the unity state is the best scenario of the simulacra. This video is without any narrative, and after the tree finishes its early transformation, The view of the tree stays in the mirror projection space and stops making any changes but does the up-down movement with the wind. This long take makes time for time and emphasises the unity state here is a rest state.
