Seeing & Being Seen 看與被看

(2019.4 ~ 2019.5) Central Saint Martin, London, UK Costume design/ Performer/Animation design: Sharo Liang

Just being in a public place has already joined the reaction chain of seeing and being seen. This is a costume that explores seeing and being seen in the performance world. In the costume, all external sights are blocked, rather expose in the gaze of the spectator, using illustration to create alienated reflection of the audiences, with the design of this costume I tend to play with the juxtaposit relationship between the spectator and the performer. Try to integrate AR into the performance costumes to interact with the audience, with their phone scanning the illustration, triggers and animated the figures on the costume to raises the mobile phone and take a photo of the audience (see the video below), forming a mirror image with the audience's behavior.

在公共場所只是存在本身，就已經加入了看與被看的行列。這是一套探討關於在表演世界中看與被看的服裝。於服裝當中，外在所有的視線都被抵擋在外，但被看到的不是自己本身，而是自己製造出來的他人在觀看自己的視線。嘗試實驗在表演服裝中融入AR與觀眾互動，當觀眾舉起已經下載好APP的手機對準圖像，畫面會浮現出與一連串表演相關的動畫。在ＡＲ動畫中，圖像和觀眾一樣舉起手機準備拍攝，與觀眾行為形成鏡像。
