I use DIY methods to intercept stories from daily life and compile them into a video. In terms of content, when a flower shop sells roses, I will buy roses. If my friend gives me leftover lychees, I will cultivate lychees. If I see the uncle opposite my house watering the flowers on the balcony, I will also go to the balcony to water the flowers. In terms of form, I do whatever the mouse can do, I display whatever the screen and projector can display, and I record whatever is recorded in the machine manual. This is the origin of "Creative Possibilities for a Poor Director". In short, I always try to create my own methodology. Roadside jokes can be political, and nonsense can also become the true explanation of our boring life. I attempt, within a society of information, to create a path that “compacts but does not compose”.

The Dinosaur on the Pagoda
In the story, there was a pagoda; and how was the pagoda built? Many people believed the pagoda used a principle similar to “egg balancing” to keep its eternal balance. An old man, who had retired from the army, was a fervent believer in this; the pagoda was where he came back, time and time again, to exercise. Recently, a group of young people had come for the first time; they told the old man that in fact there was a dinosaur atop the pagoda. The old man was unable to understand how a dinos ...

The Projector and Its Future
I compiled this machine fable through a “machine-specific" approach, which modeled after a mini projector, to look into the psychological mechanisms of people’s expectation that machines can project their desire. The main character, Mc. Launch is a man who lives the daydream of “becoming a great golfer." A friend of his who owns an electrical appliance store is a descendant of Archimedes, the originator of mechanics. Back in the day, Archimedes used the principle of force to help people, whi ...

OOtopia
The Most Grounded American Dream “OOtopia” is a deliberate miswriting of “utopia”, a word I have misappropriated and reforged. OOtopia reflects our distance from the world of the future; the misunderstandings caused by distance are the beginnings of imagination. The primary piece, Car-Modding Youth, the West, is like a nonsensical situation, depicting a group of youths who mod their cars and seem to be drawn to speed yet are always running in circles where they started. The other piece, ...

The Frame
“The Theory" and “The Frame" are intertextual. “The Frame" is a picture frame recalling the growth process of the owner. After the owner entered a “healthy and right" life, he unfortunately fattened the worm in his belly, which made him “suffer and pine". While he strives for a happy life, the nutrients of this happy life also feeds the worm that makes him suffer.
