Old waste land

2022

Video 4'40''

When I was little, my parents always cited me the underclass people of the society as negative examples, so I held an opposite side with them. Considering their lives as miserable, I was full of stereotypes about them.
Nowadays, the increasingly popular video-type social apps such as Tiktok and Kwai. The popularity of this type of application improves the right of speech of the underclass group, enabling the underclass working group to shout out their own voice. The random square-dancing, the occasional unreasonable behavior in the public space, all of which have formed a real but mysterious. I also gradually discovered their touched side, which is why I named this project An Old Waste Land.
At the end of all this, their optimism still fails to conceal the problems encountered in their lives. They remain existing in front of us as a way of entertaining the public, which is sad but funny.
