A Murder
"Murder Scene" aims to explore the power of public opinion and its impact on individuals and
society. This project creates a multidimensional narrative space through a combination of
installations, performances, and video art, allowing audiences to experience and reflect on the
impact of public opinion violence from various perspectives. Each part is a profound revelation of
the influence of public opinion violence, together forming a complex narrative about the power of
speech, social responsibility, and individual experiences.

<The Tools of the Crime>
The stacked newspapers symbolize the weight and oppressiveness of public opinion,
revealing how it becomes a tool for social judgment and attack against individuals.
(The content of the newspapers is about public opinions concerning the artist.)



Part 2 - Performance
< The Murder Scene >
This performance is the climax of the entire project. The artist is slowly covered
with newspapers, symbolizing the "erasure" of the individual by public opinion,
demonstrating the direct impact of public opinion violence on individuals. The
process of the artist being covered with newspapers symbolizes the gradual
"swallowing" of the individual by public opinion.






Work 3 - Installation
< Silent Testimony >
The hardened newspapers are removed from the artist and reassembled into a sculpture,
symbolizing the permanent mark and ultimate harm of public opinion violence on individuals.
