beep deep beep

In the three-screen video installation, “BEEP DEEP BEEP”, we watch a Japanese rapper roam through the looped imagery of our consumer society, a figure representing a link between us and the urbanized society we live in, showing us unnoticed imagery of everyday life reflected in swelling droplets of water. The images of indifferent and soulless urban landscape, combined with the solitary rapper seems to portray something of the numbness of existence that we, through rhythm, imagine we are able to escape from . The lyrics speak of forward analogous progression step by step amidst the various repetitions of daily life day turning into night and back again and the workday. However, there are also hints that there can still be freedom if one has the will to take one’s own direction in life and that even repetitive progression can take one around the world and lead to renewal. Created by first filming the images, then having the composer make the soundtrack, and finally having the MC write lyrics while seeing the 3 divided images, this pieces explores the relationship between audio and visual via the various changes that occurred in it during the filmmaking process.
