The quest for desire
Preface
‘Sometimes nothing interests me.’
‘My desire to love and to be loved often haunts me.’
‘I find that this ideal of what I want is always far from me.’
‘So what's holding me back, an obsession?’
‘Maybe it's not that much to want.’
‘I began to doubt the reality and reliability of this desire.’
Film Translation

The Fictional City——City of Desire
Based on the analysis of the film, a fictional city of desire is created using the imagery of the eye as a gateway to desire, a city made up of layers of nested structures, in which the person is placed in a prison.

media and desire: how britpop music can manufacture desire?
Based on the context in which the film was made, i.e. the Cool Britannia period in the UK, an attempt is made to analyse how rock and roll as a dominant culture stimulates young people's desires like psychedelic drugs
installation
The device is used to reflect the fact that rock music encourages young people to escape from the problems and dilemmas of the real world by providing them with a hothouse, so that the senses are amplified, the mind is numbed, and desires are created as easily as signals are received.
