Sweet Agony

Sweet Agony is a kinetic video installation of a man trapped within a confined space, constantly struggling to break out. Employing a moving platform designed to synchronise with the video, the pushing of the frame transfers from a 2-dimensional video and into actual 3-dimensional space.

The absurd situation grows in poignancy and frustration with each futile endeavour, reflecting our contemporary way of life where individuals are caged by the routines and monotony of our everyday existence.

Presented at SHOPHOUSE 5 as part of Untapped Discovery (2017), organised by the Visual Arts Development Association Singapore; and as part of the little stories we tell ourselves (2021), organised by MUI Gallery.
