Are films like mirrors reflecting what is true, or are they merely illusions?
But the real question should not be diluted: perhaps it is more important to think about what films do rather than what films are. A film with good intention can create ripples, as if waters have a pulse, linking and providing for its audience. When the audience and the film are in sync, it is like hearts beating at the same rhythm, pounded by a drum without edges. The rhythm should be astounding and natural. When put into this design, materials were carefully selected so that the beautiful and soothing rhythm will not be over-ridded; that audience who come into this space will ‘go with the flow’.
If we are to present the pulse of water, what colour should it be? As the aesthetic shapes, lines and edges are the key things to convey, we decided to keep the colours subtle. White is used to represent water, while bronze is used to represent pulses. Starting from the entrance, the white colour gives a bright view in general.
Films are the pulse of water: it can be fierce and it can be mild; water reflects and water rejects. Whether one will end up float on it or get drowned by it, is not a choice but a chance. If you cannot row, maybe you should go with the flow.
