This 3D video art is an extension of the artist's recent piece and exhibition, KYPHOSIS: Through a Looking Glass (2020), a video game installation developed during the recent pandemic. Isolation, made in response to the idea of ‘unhappiness’, interprets the notion of isolation through a multi- layered context: the worldwide lockdown, as well as the solitary path of an artist. Here, stretched human figures are juxtaposed in the center of the visual, expressing a certain longing for human touch and interaction, at the same time addressing the perpetual struggle between individual and collective concerns. Once again, the reality is playfully flipped around in Chong Yan's world, which, together with his colourful palette, evoke the idea of a ‘promised happiness’. A work that puts us in a disturbed yet hopeful state at once.
