The City is a projection mapping video, focusing on New York City. Based on the background of New York City, here comes a comparison: New York City is a forest, buildings are trees, subway lines are roots, and people are nutrients for this city, as they make wealth, and build this city. Through the comparison, I try to present the city system and the humanity, including the relationship and connection between the ground and the underground, and the relationship and connection between a natural and an artificial product. The City is also discussing the urban sociology; data of this city; human psychology; urban environment; projection mapping; editing and post-production; and materials. In this project, the physical part is a book sculpture with a forest shape; and the visual part is a series of New York daily life live recording.
