The character – who have been infected
Synopsis: Through the past two field homework and readings, I realize how similar my “occasional short trips” are, especially after understanding the concept of “place” and “space”. The whole Whampoa neighborhood is the place, and the same route that I walk on every time I go out during the coronavirus outbreak is my “space” that I have developed and practiced. This short storyboard is the representation of what I see every time I go through the same “space”, while the environment actually changes a bit every time I go through it, sometimes just small changes that I did not realize.

Defensive Archetype/ Dystopian Paradigm Synopsis. This documentary suggests an emergent discourse of a defensive archetype, “curtain” or aka “wall”. During the event of coronavirus, a sense of isolation and self-defensive is slowly intensifying within ourselves, but apart from the anthropological activities, architecture and infrastructures are also conveying the idea of self-defensive as presented.

In this documentary, relationship
