On Your Threshold, three-screen film, 7m03s,2021.4
This three-channel video installation employs a triptych structure: the left screen documents the school gate exit, the central panel features gameplay footage, and the right frame captures the entrance facial recognition system. Through this cybernetic surveillance allegory, the work dissects institutional violence during pandemic lockdowns - when the entrance scanner authenticates a face, the gameplay accelerates by 50%; any exit attempt (successful or failed) freezes the central narrative until renewed biometric compliance. This closed-circuit mechanism visualizes how authoritarian logic colonizes the interstitial spaces of quotidian existence.
