Have a Balanced Diet 3: Home Making

Description
Description
How do we live with ourselves? How do we live with our family members? Furthermore, being part of a family, how do we live as a member of society as well as “disappear” from our own family-self and social self, as well as the fixed and rigid roles implied? None of us have evaded these chained questions of survival. In the previous editions of Have a Balanced Diet series, we focused on how video experiments implicate the entirety of our everyday life. In this current edition, Have a Balanced Diet 3 (BD3), we focus on how we stand ground in our daily life to make sense of it, in order to construct our ideals of the everyday.
This is a process of self-perceptual reflection. We look at personal traces of living, sensations and emotions in our own living environment, and view them against family histories and views of the others. We use a kind of narrative that belongs to oneself yet at the same time also belongs to the outside world, to intervene / retreat from/ insert oneself into this world. In BD3, we do more than video screening; various artistic mediums are deployed. Each medium is a method of its own. While different mediums mingle, the elements of a specific medium could be seen in another one. The purposeful extension of the image is to dissect/ recompose/construct what’s in between. The participating artists are going to unfold their own micro-narratives from the in-betweens of moving image, photography, action, literature, painting, installation and sound.
