둠즈데이 비디오

Doomsday Video is a fictional archive of the ongoing year 2020 and an instruction for doomsday. In the era of the pandemic, borders are shut down, social distances are inscribed into our daily lives on planet earth. Choi calls for help on seven art colleagues: all female friends, who live and work in differents part of the world. Choi and the seven colleagues explore the possibility of solidarity under physical paralysis, interchanging stories of doomsday. Can we hold hands at a distance? How much can we believe the story of past and future when now/here is delayed? Can the grounds we each walk on get together and make a bridge? Can our voices come together to become slogans that someone will sing some time? With the image data and stories collected from these questions, Kimberly uses photogrammetry to construct a 3D space of each of the seven correspondent’s standing ground as well as a common ground to gather all their voices. Doomsday Video shares the smartphones and webcams grabbing and surveying, and tries the primitive ways of solidarity and contact such as telepathy, hand spa, and songs handed down by oral tradition.
