The sun shines the shadows away

With the entire second-year photography class at the HKU, we created an exhibition. With 29 students, we transformed an empty supermarket into an exhibition space, featuring a diverse assortment of themes and their visualizations.

‘As unkept forms’ describes the research process within our themes. The forms in which we seek and find continue to change shape. In this way, something is never finished, but we do get closer each time.

I showed a video-installation about a search for connection with people, depicted with the sun and the night as metaphors. They appear one after another in the same world, alternating. One after another. Never meeting.

In the way I presented the film in the exhibition, two projectors shine on one side of the screen, each. The projection shines through, making it visible on the other side as well. This sparks the viewer's curiosity about what is happening on which side. The two projectors shine alternately, like the sun and the night. In this way, the presentation also adds to the story.
