Experimental Films by Eric Lee Loong
Reconfiguration
These two films have been disfigured from their original source and reconfigured to address hierarchies of power and desire. The accompanying sounds also play a vital role in the reconstruction of dialogue between image and the sleeping consciousness. Similar to the act of exorcism, these films are an attempt to expel the demons, spirits and gods that dominate one’s emotional and mental capacity.
