In Production: Lysan City, Alstroemeria, and Asua is a film project that began from “Commu”, a shortened term for the Original Character Community(O.C.). “Commu” is an online community where each user creates one’s own character set in a virtual universe and develops a fictional narrative by interacting with other characters. The artist discovers a peculiar way of narrative writing in the collaborative creation process carried forth by the teenagers gathered in the “Commu.” The strange and surreal universe that evolves by patching story fragments written by each participant exposes the extreme sense of isolation felt by teenagers today, while leaving traces of their repeated attempts and failures of communication. This time the artist will present the making process and a prototype of this film project, which is currently being created through a collaborative writing process that blurs the notion of individual subjectivity.
