nicht blind, mute und deaf
Concept:
To replace dialogues from my memory, such as the conversations I have heard on TV, dialogues in a film and songs I usually listen to, on the images I see every day in Weimar.
It celebrates the natural born ability of my mind, that even if it is frustrating to be not able to understand from the actual audio in reality, my mind can replace another audio track onto the visual, thus generating a new scene that I preferred in my mind.
Video descriptions:
Screen 1 - the screens
It shows a collage of the footages of a game during the World Cup (Germany vs Ghana) that I was watching, including livestream, TV, youtube highlights, Fifa (playstation). While the audio was taken from the same match on the same day and time on a TV channel (a Portuguese channel) in Macau that I used to watch football games.
2. screen 2 - the park
it shows what i saw on a random day at the park - some german boys were chatting and chilling out. as a foriegner in this context, i wish i would understand what they were talking, so i tried to recall some movies i have seen, looking for a memorable dialogue that i have come across, so that the images i was looking at became meaningful.
3. screen 3 - the girlfriends
a collage of distorted close ups of the girls i met in weimar, who i spent most of my time with. none of us know each other‘s first language, but we communicate well with our imperfect english. still, music is the best common language, to express our emotions, to show passion to one another. it also shows my view on how a person perceives vibes; from a normal pace and tone before processing to a slow motion, altered pitch chanting while the mind processes a melodic expression.
