Visible and Invisible is a 2022 digital video work that originates from a dialogue on gender identity. Initially recorded as a video conversation, the work was then transformed into digital motion graphics. In this process, human figures and voices vanish, replaced by countless waves of light and particles. This transformation represents an alternative presentation of existence and visibility, presenting the human form and voice in an invisible form.
In this digital metamorphosis, the work underscores the tension between the tangible and intangible aspects of existence. By abstracting the conversation into dynamic, non-representational forms, Visible and Invisible challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions of presence and absence. The transformation from concrete human figures and voices into abstract waves and particles invites an exploration of how identity can be both expressed and obscured in the realm of digital art.
The use of light waves and particles not only serves as a visual metaphor for the fluidity of identity but also reflects the complexity of human experience, which often eludes straightforward representation. This shift from the personal to the abstract allows for a deeper engagement with the notion of visibility, suggesting that what is unseen can hold as much significance as what is visible.
