FLUX: Earth

"Shades of Stillness"

(Ongoing)

 

 

FLUX is a collection of video art works, an ongoing research on constant change and balance, through the narrative of elements. 

 

The successive chapter of this collection, FLUX: Earth “Shades of Stillness”, is a series of video art works and short films, narrating tales from diverse landscapes, documenting the element “Earth”; a depiction of the mind and the search of a state of “Consciousness”;

an effortless disposition of Foundation and Stability.

Earth is the here and now. It is the grounding element of action, yet being the ultimate plane of transformation and

the center of all motion.

Over centuries, ancient cultures had developed philosophical concepts and thought patterns to grasp the mechanism of life and being. By all means the influence between Hinduism and Buddhism is inevitably lucid, however, the analogy in the realization of elements in completely different parts of the world, such as Aztec, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Indian and Central African communities,

in the absence of any cultural interaction, is truly substantial.

 

The collection’s main focus is to develop a channel to understand the concept of the mind’s liberation, interpreting the ancient Eastern teachings into a script that is free from the analytical abstraction of the Western approach.

 

Through this series of video art works, "Shades of Stillness" aims to construct a holistic and immersive experience for the viewers,

whilst carrying them through a continuous loop of moving inside and outside, encouraging to find a common ground

to be the observer and observee concurrently.
