The 561st Hour of Occupation

Yuan Goang-Ming / Taiwan / 2014 / Czech Premiere / 6 min.


synopsis

A suggestive camera travelling explores the space where protests took place against a trade agreement with China, which was intended to strengthen political control over Taiwan. The filmmaker leaves only devices and items that act as symptoms of a long and continuous presence and traces of the protesters´ efforts to preserve freedom.

biography

In his work, Taiwanese videoart pioneer Yuan Goang-Ming (1965) works with critical metaphors of technology as they relate to the human mind and perception.
