Zhixuan Lyu -- "Looking"

Looking

"This film consists of clips that have no specific meanings. These clips involve my daily surroundings, routines, and discoveries in everyday life. I have always been interested in using art to express the mundaneness in life. These ordinaries are things closes to real life in screen arts, and things I feel most easily resonate with. However, everyday objects are commonly forgotten because they are so accessible to us. I am afraid of getting used to an environment or routine. I am afraid of taking everything for granted and feel that life is nothing but repetitiveness. This film takes the audience into the ordinary life of me in the last bit of my senior year and tries to awaken the audience’s sense towards the most

familiar things." -- ZHIXUAN LYU
