The Burrow

2021

​

The project titled "The Burrow," juxtapose multiple and inter-connected chapters of videos to reveal the panopticon of a closed community encased in a series of security measures. This body of work portrays the panoramic surveillance of a digital society and the universal plight of all cavemen within the closed-loop system. Yao Qingmei adopts the language of documentary film with an absurd tone to a central control room hidden in an underground cave, a group of tiresome security guards in training, against a highsaturation semi-artificial landscape.
