Life Imitation
2017, Chinese. Directed by Zhou Chen.
Contemporary Shanghai, the young gathering. A mega-structure under rapid development. Ubiquitous screens, fragmented materiality, masked crowd. We keep performing ourselves hard. Living in a space-time construction created by the times and us. Seeking for blending in and communication In many moments. We have no clue in which layer of space are we in: Virtual space, dream space, daily space, urban space, bodily space, cellphone space, social space.
