This installation consists of three contemplative videos and a plastic installation. Each of the three videos consists of a single contemplative documentary scene. A video of a fish swimming in an aquarium is projected onto the glass case in the middle of the room, behind which a CRT monitor showing a person suspended underwater with a frozen gesture, and at the entrance to the room, a video projected onto the floor shows that the water is constantly dripping. At the same time, a plastic installation made up of a tray with a spotlight projecting light underwater and a plastic bottle filled with water with a small hole cut in its cap, and this bottle is tipped over to allow the water to drip from the bottle into the tray. As a result, the movement of the water is made perceptible in space through light and shadow by the dripping. Thus, an underwater or aquarium fantasy is manifested in the space, while if one can still distinguish what is inside the room remain the spectator or become the fish? When one looks at the fish inside, does he or she not at the same time receive the gaze projected from outside?
