What contemporary boxes have we trapped ourselves in? Box Body is a site-specific video artwork wrapped around the Ten Square billboard in Singapore, exploring the theme of constriction that defines many urban lives. For a few nights in one of the busiest and fastest-growing metropolitan spaces in the world, a giant crouched, wedged in a building, contemplating their entrapment and ours, too.
Box Body was developed in collaboration with Ahad Mahmood (cinematographer), with support from Erving Tan (videographer) for the live interactive performance.
A Living Screen
Anamorphic illusions are a centuries-old perspective trick, and the shinjuku crossings and times squares of modern-day had adapted them for the spectacle of 3D cats in curvy billboards by the time this project was concieved. However, skewing and stretching filmed, non-CG footage—let alone doing so live with an actor interacting with pedestrians below—seemed to us an entirely novel concept.
