‌Pure Form (2005)

The video is a documentary that recorded a scene of family excursion, but thematically visualizing pure forms. Captured in his video work, the indexical phenomena of circular waves images on fountain water at a small school in countrysideand water patterns drawn by children’s hands on the fountain reveal the pure forms of nature, reminding us of the video’s aesthetics of reflection as index media. In this video work, the water waves and patterns are featured as an index of pure forms, while the subjects who generate the phenomena are the children. The children and their innocence are the very represenation of pure forms. The artist asked the children to write down poetic phrases he recited on papers on which dry flower petals are added creating a sort of drawings with poems.  In the handwriting of the children, as in the dry flower petals, reside pure forms.
