(gaze_loop) 暗場迴圈
Emerging from rave culture in Taiwan, (gaze_loop) is an immersive performance where freedom slowly turns into performance under the gaze.
"Are you ready to be free?"
About Emerging from rave culture in Taiwan, (gaze_loop) asks whether freedom on the dance floor is simply the comfort of watching ourselves perform. A drag queen playing the Gaze Police holds a phone as a live camera while a fixed camera watches the whole room. Faces become tracking boxes and numbers; images are delayed, fragmented and projected back, and every reaction – approaching, hiding, freezing, provoking – re-enters the loop. Over three hours, audiences may arrive, dance, watch and leave as surveillance shifts from event to atmosphere. Responding to Tricky Ghosts, the work treats these gazes as ghosts that linger and return.
(gaze_loop) is a three-hour durational environment where rave, live-camera feedback and performance meet. A drag Gaze Police figure films the dancing crowd; delayed, filtered images return to the room, and bodies begin to perform their own freedom under the pressure of being seen.
