Xin Yunpeng recorded objects in parallel movement on a tableware-recycling device (similar to a conveyor belt for sushi) and displays the resultant video on a customized double-screen device forming what he calls “two consecutive patterns.” Although the videos on each side are identical, they play at different times and therefore convey an illusion of continuity. This illusion, combined with spatial logic and the progressive movement from left to right, create the effect of a montage. The isolation of the two screens produces a visual illusion of Progress.
