He recreates the memories of his past (our present), and imagines the lives of those who inhabited his old apartment when he was gone.

Director
Utilizing the screen recording method, this desktop-essay film successively follows the colour blue that has been used in paintings and videos under expressive or technical decisions. The colour blue in this work connects artworks from different periods in art history and inquires about the truth and delusion in the act of seeing. After a short surfing session, there is a random yet organically constructed archive about the colour blue.

The prototype of beauty is modelled by structural software, where it’s associated with the physical and mechanical characteristics of the material. Some faces of the model are constrained, while others force it: in this way, internal tensions are created within the material and displacements are produced and made visible thanks to color gradient and simulated in 3D. Numeric evaluation lead in a deep research on the model of beauty, testing its resistance and investigating hidden properties.
