God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, including ‘Thou shalt not kill’. Humans strive to create the ideal society, killing many on the way. Short, but momentous animation that symbolically, yet clearly shows the rise and tragedy of various utopias.
This artistic piece includes two presentation plans. First, nine screens are used for presentation. Nine LCD screens are hung in the air facing the floor. The back of the frame are covered by black aluminium panels. Some aluminium panels and mirrors are installed on the floor and the mirrors are of the size of the LCD. The spectators can only see the image in the LCD from the mirrors on the floor, but they are unable to have a comprehensive view from whatever angle. The presentation of the installation emphasizes a way to view history, which can only be partially recognized. It also presents multiple paradoxical meanings of simplicity and complexity, group and individuals, as well as generality and individuality. Second, nine sets of screens are presented together. The images are projected on the wall in the exhibition hall full of machine-made fog, like the places depicted in the images. This way of presentation makes the spectators part of the works, offering them a feeling of immersive experience.
