Campus Mood: A Girl at a Corridor's End Suddenly Turning to the Camera

In a small campus broadcast room a girl sits on the floor holding a mini-DV camera and talking to the lens, warm desk lamp light from the side, old audio gear behind her, grain and slight oversaturation like a message recorded for someone in the future. A talk-to-camera setup adds suspense. Image 4 of Zhao Yifan's set.

Back in the present, a boy sits alone in the empty broadcast room holding a mini-DV camera with the screen flipped toward himself, his thumb just pressing REC, a small red light in his eye and old tape cases on the desk. The set's closing image. Image 8 of Zhao Yifan's set.

Mini-DV quality in an empty Korean school gym, a girl pauses with a basketball and turns to the camera, smiling as if she has waited a long time for someone, with fluorescent light on the waxed floor and empty stands. A long-awaited smile adds a hint of relationship to a solo still. Image 6 of Zhao Yifan's set.
