In Trance We Gaze
2018・Taiwan・26 minutes
The images of gods and Buddhas are solemn, and all good men and women believe in them devoutly. It is as if spirits appear and whisper in their ears when they are in a trance. The statues of deities that were not revered were left lying around without anyone to care for them. TV news reported that the government advised people not to be superstitious, and the slogans often revealed authoritarian control in the name of "patriotism." In the midst of Huang Dawang's demonic mutterings and violent electronic music, various chains of relationships that cannot be caught up and abandoned... appear in the frozen gaze. Man or God, all destruction and rebirth, meet in this and find a corner to live in.
