The connection between our movements and the world has become even more complicated on the post-Anthropocene Earth - our smartphone photography, the information that is perceived, coded and decoded, transmitted and interpreted, alongside our locations as part of the database of "our world", are making the subject if movements an aggregated geography in the contemporary society.
​
By placing the same set of work at two different locations: a contained gallery space and an outdoor opened plane on a rooftop, the notion of being "contained" and "exposed" was juxtapositioned in this film. The materiality of the physical set of work responds differently to the two sets of "surfaces", at the same time it questions the existence of self and the work we created.

The x and y-axis, longitude and latitude, interpret our spaces as a plane, in an aerial manner that reflects on our movements, or even, our linear views of spaces. When applying the context of “surface” to our physical existence, our skin is the outermost surface of our body that directly responds and reacts to the surface of the Earth and of all things around us. It is metaphorically and psychologically coherent with our preferable definitions of self in space.
