Screen Melancholy

English. Directed by Li Yi-Fan.

'Screen Melancholy is my third work using game engines for image creation. It explores the complex, layered relationship between individuals and “images” in the visual-first generation. This relationship encompasses how people receive and create images. Through the character in the video, I encourage viewers to “learn how to make animation!” As a cautionary warning, it suggests that understanding how images are produced is essential to grasp the power mechanism behind them. Ironically, these profound truths about images are expressed through the very medium of images. While the philosophical-sounding statements are delivered with such sincerity, the character comes across as rather mischievous. The obscure knowledge in the work resembles that of Wikipedia or content farms, leaving viewers unsure where to place their gaze. This feels like a private game between me and the audience.' – Li Yi-Fan
