Limbo
‘Limbo’ immerses viewers to the inside of a tunnel slide in a waterpark while the narration tells a story of a divided self, separated into a version from the past and the present. This schizophrenic condition of an imaginary and non-specific authorial self is caused by self-shaming and guilt of the regrettable past, which can be experienced in the current time where making a mistake is often unforgivable. The image of the endless tunnel from the vision of a person inside of a slide is juxtaposed playfully with the voice. From a perspective of a slider, ‘Limbo’ invites viewers to experience strange yet familiar hyperreality and to blur the concrete state of existence by taking a journey of going through the liquid condition of waterslide.
