Kuo Chia-Ling is interested in theories of perception and language – her work explores how aspects of daily life can be transformed into something magical and mysterious through the language of cinema. In particular, she is fascinated by body language and the mediation between bodily experience and how the mind constructs meaning. In the Red Lip series a lipsticked mouth speaks, but the video is silent: speech becomes mysterious and open to multiple, overlapping interpretations.
