Bodyscape
Two channel 4K colour video with stereo sound, 3 minutes 55 seconds, 2022
This work imagines a female body as a part of nature and seeks to blur the boundary of human body and landscape.
With different parts of the body perception, it explores the subjectivity of the female-born body and connection with mother nature.
The work emphasises the idea that humans perceive nature with their bodies, and must immerse themselves in it to truly understand it.
Through body movement and closeup shots, Tu demonstrates the visual playfulness and aesthetic between female body and nature. The
rhythm of body movement and the music are reinforced by the viewing experience, which asks the viewer to perceive alongside the work.
