I used to indulge myself in video games. Of all the games that I played, I was especially fond of online ones. For a frustrated youngster like me, online video games allowed me to live a new life as a different person in the virtual world.
With this piece of video art, I hope to express a youngster’s stress in life and how he struggles to escape. The protagonist wears an orange jacket taken from a wardrobe. As if he were a flat-shaped superman, the man takes wicked actions to save others.
In our lives, there are certain types of justice that we don’t dare to carry out. For instance, we witness something happen, or that something happens to us. Because we haven’t been brave, or because the timing is bad, we give up on interfering in it. We drive past a car accident scene, which is so bloody real, but we speed up and go away. But it is there; it never ceases to exist just because we run away from it. I believe that, when playing video games, we are given time and space to figure out why we don’t dare.
