24h (2021)

We can’t live without electronic, we can’t live without each other.

All happy or unhappy moments in the long river of time will become insignificant, we use all means to in order to remember these memories that will eventually pass away...so what are you doing right now, what are you thinking right now , and who are you looking at? Something you did at some point in time may have in some sense created a connection with a stranger across the ocean. In this installation, the artist intends to collect video clips of what happened and was recorded in each minute of the 24 hours to make a complete video. In the minutes where the video was collected, the video will show what had happened in that minute. The minutes where no video was collected will be skipped until the video of that minute is collected by the artist. All the skipped minutes are like vanished time, it definitely exists, it just leaves our memory, it's like it really disappears. If you are interested in helping me fill these 24 hours together, or if you have a precious memory you would like to share, feel free to send a video clip to the email address shiwei.liu9571@gmail.com, indicating where and when it was taken (what time and minute), and then you will see your video appear here.
