The Installation




The Silent Witnesses: video installation from Chi-chun Chang on Vimeo.


The virtual space is created through CCTV images, sound and doors.

These videos are all the existing facts in the world, this world under the global food security policy. They are the representation of the surreal reality. There is no specific story to be told in each video, every video includes many aspects of the food security at the same time. But the hidden stories might be found, when you look at multiple videos at the same time, and different combination tells different stories in your mind.

The design reflects panopticon architecture and surveillance. Other than panopticon, as the visitor plays the observer in the central tower, he/she observes him/herself observing what he/she observes.

If you are interested about this project, you could download my thesis for more detail technical and theoretical documentation.
