A work produced entirely in vertical format. The rapidly shifting visuals express the experience of being manipulated as one’s smartphone is taken over. The result is a video that blends reality and virtuality, making viewers feel as if their own smartphone has gone haywire.

Archive footage from the video series “Broadcast from a Colony,” which has been in production since 2017. It depicts industrial products slipping beyond their intended functions and engaging in autonomous movement. The work attempts to uncover the primitive, magical qualities latent within the functions of the modern city.
