About Near Light Beochan Físe Agus Damhsa

Trí íomhánna de shoilse ar snámh a ghabháil ar an tsráid tar éis meán oíche nuair a bhí an chathair ghnóthach ag ceansú, tá sé mar aidhm ag an mbeochan físe seo braistint cumhach a mhúscailt do Macao, leithinis suaimhneach i ndeisceart na Síne gar do Hong Cong. Mar léiriú agus mar cheistiú ar an bhforbairt gheilleagrach rathúil i gcathair a bhfuil cáil uirthi mar thionscal na turasóireachta, spreagann an obair seo an lucht féachana agus iad ag cuardach brí níos doimhne na beatha agus na sonas.

Unique Properties
Through capturing imagery of floating lights on streets after midnight when the busy city was calming down, this video animation aspires to evoke a nostalgic sensibility for Macao, a tranquil peninsula in southern China near Hong Kong. As a reflection and questioning to the prosperous economic development in a city well-known for gambling industry, this work provokes the audiences into the search of the meaning of life.
Dimensions & Packaging
This work could be a video for a show/screening only or could include dance in a multimedia performance with LED panel on stage or within a museum/gallery installation.

Production Technology
Video footages filmed with a Canon 5DSR and edited in Adobe Premiere for the animation. This work could also include dancers in a multimedia performance.
Design Challenge
Capturing the floating lights on street and matching images/animation with music to creative the desired mood. The incorporation of dancers in the production is also a big challenge.
Research
This work is a multimedia video animation for screening and show, but it could also be part of a multimedia dance performance with a large LED panel on stage or within a gallery/museum installation. Through manipulation of the manual focus function during filming, a dreamy effect is captured to reveal a nostalgic sensation. The video footages will then be edited to match the musical texture. In the performance, dancers added another layer of meaning to the video animation and together created a touching performance on stage.
Inspiration
The inspiration of the project came from experiencing the transformation of Macao from a peaceful peninsula to a metropolitan city. As Reinsley Husson wrote in a review of Near Light: "Every life is heading towards an unknown destination - a journey of tragedies and triumphs that ultimately allows us to discover the world, and more importantly, ourselves."
