Universes in Universe I : World Map from Cheng-Ta YU on Vimeo.
Universes in Universe is a video work, in which two girls from Asia reimagine and reconstruct a whole new world map. They communicate with each other in English, the only language they share, to decide where to locate different nations. In the process, the participants’individual experience mesh together and result in constant shifting of the pieces. Their judgement, in some ways, resonate with their embedded imagination of the “Others”. One usually preconceives the
world and reflects on oneself through his/ her own experience. Though maybe biased, it is also an interesting contrast with the real world.
