New Dawn Fades 2008

Directed by Jen Liu

Two videos are projected on two walls of the small viewing space. The videos present two classes from a reorganized future society—the Crunch Division and the Peace Division. The people of the Crunch Division wear strange uniforms and do peculiar, regimented exercises to the blinking and buzzing of a red light. The people of the Peace Division sit and lay on the ground lackadaisically in empty hallways and rooms, and sip water out of extremely long straws.
