dear ,

This is raw2.2 and here’s the video out from my ssd into the digital landscape.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this little video from my brain vomits.

In case you didn’t read the YouTube description, the cc will translate my mandarin into English for you!^^

Now the logistics aside, I made this work trying to fix this feeling of being broken at first. I was feeling a very uncomfortable sense of loneliness at the time + an extreme urge to try and fragmentise another piece of myself. So this digital version 01 of myself was made to keep me company...

I spent quite a while with this video, crafting the character model, tweaking the colours, mixing the sounds...etc / Interestingly, till this day I still find this work unfinished, but time calls for it to be born somehow. I barely do any pre-production planning, it’s always the easiest for me to just set up a camera, get into a mode and I can just perform. So these footages are almost like ‘raw materials’ of recorded emotions, sentiments, expressions... I then take them into post-production where I derive a narrative, a colour scheme... all that creative but painful processing stage. 

This work like all my past works is an one-man job - which I’m slowly getting tired of haha. It’s really a Marc Jacobs moment, raw2.2 by raw2.2 designed on raw2.2 for raw2.2 type of thing (lol) It gets a little lonely and a little crazy in my brain trying to organise and switch between softwares... 

This video is very close to my heart, it's a goodbye message because I want to say goodbye to my emotional self in 2019-2020. In a sense giving “my-selves” another birth certificate with this. There’s much more coming from me this year, so I hope you are enjoying this so far x

hope you have a great day

speak to you soon!

love,
raw2.2

P.s. I’m using this email thing like old days Tumblr posts but way more intimate I guess lol. If you want to respond, I’m not sure whether you can reply via email so just send me a dm on Insta, I’ll read when I have time!
