Description

Whale Project

A little girl accidentally entered a painting world. She was attracted to that painting and tried to draw a realistic picture.

After she entered the painting world again, she induced by the mysterious whale. She pursued the mystery paint without hesitation, to create her own dream world. However, she was just followed suit.

In order to achieve her goal, she traded her soul with the whale. In the end, she overdrew everything and swallowed by the whale.

Through the trade between the girl and the whale, we want to explore the relationship between human desire and equivalent exchange. Also, using the concept of “the girl swallowed by the whale” to reinterpret how small the human is when facing desire.

本故事中，女孩在美術館中意外地進入了隱藏於畫中的另一個世界。在畫中神秘鯨魚的誘導下，女孩義無反顧地去追求神秘的力量，一生依樣畫葫蘆，希望創造出只屬於自己的夢幻空間。為了達到目的，女孩不惜以靈魂作籌碼與鯨魚交易，最終透支一切，被鯨魚吞噬。

本動畫透過描述女孩與鯨魚的神秘交易，探索人類遂求慾望與等價交換之間難以捨割的關係，並以「女孩被鯨魚吞噬」的概念重新演繹人類在慾望前的渺小與無力。

Project objectives
