Jiéjiè
Yu Guo Report time of the Performance Lecture: 2018.12.31, 3:00 PM Final artwork: Single audio Digital video , color , 12′57″ “jiéjiè ” in magical world is often visualized as a circle around characters’ bodies, or as a spherical gas shield enveloping human bodies inside. The body follows completely different rules inside and outside the “jiéjiè ”. In our current daily life, our body has long been re-shaped by technological media so we say media is an extension of the body, like prosthesis. Thus should we say such body subjected to mediation has too formed something similar to “jiéjiè ”, which might not exist simply as a boundary between primordial body senses and technological media? It’s like the “jiéjiè ” in magical world which can be expanded and shrunken, a result of the two-way rendering between body and media. In today’s urban life, every single visual action of viewing counts as a screen and is at the same time producing certain narrative. Watching a subway window is the same as watching your phone screen in the sense that, there has long been a kind of media language embedded in. Nonetheless the body is not just passive in face of such viewing, but is also taking initiatives to write. “jiéjiè ” is the screen where the two-way rendering of body and media takes place. The work aims to discuss the relation between “jiéjiè ” and “screen” in way of “cinématographe”. Yu Guo was born in 1983 in Sichuan.
