CHICKEN VOICES by ZULKEFLI JAIS
Duration 01 minutes 02 seconds
Year 2021

Statement

In a temporary and unstable reception, my work obsessively explores the interplay of juxtaposition between an object, body, and primary situation which directly involves the mundane aspect of everyday. Fundamentally, each alteration is to reveal or create an otherwise obscure feature, which trying to destabilize the viewer’s notion of reality and authenticity. In an abstract situation, this idea is driven by taking familiar object, subject and procedure out of the real context to elicit new interpretation that normally unstable. In this attempt, I recontextualized the subject in order to stimulate the viewer’s imagination and transcend an alternative visual vocabulary which we called it “subjective construct”. Critically, I’m focusing in blurring the original meaning into a new instruction for audience in revealing “new logic” which inspired by Roland Barthes “third meaning” that suggesting every images has its own accidental meaning in evoking a sense of the extraordinary within the ordinary. Time becomes the action; unfamiliarity becomes the priority.

DISKRIMINASI MODENISASI by AMIRUL ADNAN
Duration 03 minutes 58 seconds
Year 2021

Statement:

“DISKRIMINASI MODENISASI” menggambarkan kesan ghaib atau tersirat sama ada positif atau negatif terhadap penggunaan gajet dan teknologi moden dalam dunia hari ini. Mesej yang dilaksanakan adalah atas dasar metafora. Manusia benar-benar melihat sesuatu sekadar cuma dengan mata kasar, sedangkan tidak dapat meramalkan perkara tersirat lain yang lebih mendalam daripada apa yang ditunjukkan di depan mata. DISKRIMINASI MODENISASI cuba mendedahkan dan mengetengahkan misteri kesan tersirat penggunaan teknologi moden, yang gagal ditafsir oleh kita manusia dengan pemandangan biasa.

KALEI-X by FAEZ NULHA

Year 2021

BON APETIT by YASMIN BAWADI
Duration 02 minutes 08 seconds
Year 2019

Statement:

In the year 2019, plastic pollution became terrible alarming, especially in developing countries. Malaysia’s president during that time, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad fortunately made an announcement to send back plastic waste to their respective original countries. Following that, there were other Asian countries that decided to do the same action. Due to that incident, this artwork was created to link the karma event in a visual form. An easier way of understanding this in an everyday situation is that we cast away plastic into the ocean, and the fishes will eat the plastic and ending with us eating the fish. It is a never-ending cycle of us getting back what we deserved.
