This work is a combination of live performance and video performance. It uses the body as a medium to explore the cognitive issues of "self-existence" in contemporary society. Deconstruct self-existence between image and reality. The performance itself is creating the magic of the current moment. When the projection ends and the performance stops, the “ghost” will disappear.

​

Specific to the material of "body", the real body of the performer touched her projected body in the video, causing its own existence to be considered. As a result, the "presence dualism" previously possessed by "me" in this work began to be challenged. From this perspective, looking back at Plato's “the four elements" theory as the composition from universe to human body, you will find that the traditional Logocentrism is deconstructed. The body is no longer a subsidiary existence, but the being itself. In a sense, I think this is similar to the perception of existence in Zen and Oriental culture.

​

Taking the "body" as a symbol, using an oriental Zen-style performance, metaphorizes the existence of the self, the dissolution and unity of the “ghost of the self” in multiple copies and technologies. In addition, instead of using the originally planned installation and live performance, the final work will be viewed on the website in the form of a film. This can be seen another layer of explanation to this theme.

Here the ghost is me. Since I've been asked to play myself in a film which is more or less improvised, I feel as if I'm letting a ghost speak through me.

It is a matter of dissection of the "self" that precedes not only via every relation to the other but via every identity of the self.

​

是身如聚沫，不可撮摩；是身如泡，不得久立；

是身如炎，從渴愛生；是身如芭蕉，中無有堅；

是身如幻，從顛倒起；是身如夢，為虛妄見；

是身如影，從業緣現；是身如響，屬諸因緣；

是身如浮雲，須臾變滅；是身如電，念念不住。

​

是身無主，為如地。是身無我，為如火。

是身無壽，為如風。是身無人，為如水。

是身不實，四大為家。
