Unboxing

My video performance was inspired by the online “unboxing” videos. It’s an online phenomenon where people tend to use shopping as an approach to get over loneliness. These unboxing videos satisfy people’s growing appetite for material aspiration and online loneliness by presenting the intimacy of touching and opening the delivery boxes.
In my “unboxing” video, I keep unboxing different size boxes, but nothing is inside the box. The subject, myself, keeps touching and opening (penetrating) the box, with no result. It’s a vicious cycle between the growing appetite for recognition, being notices, and the curing of loneliness. The boxes are just the containers of the looping and endless loneliness.
