T (2017 2018) dir. Li Shuang
T is a 4channel video, with music by Eli Osheyack, performance and voiceover by Naomi Yu. Taking imagery of feet as a starting point, Li subtly interweaves the experience of a customer service representative (positioned as a straight, cis male) of a Taobao womens socks online retailer, with reminiscent selfnarrations, internet slangs, and cultural symbols. Through the nonlinear narratives and fragmented visuals, the film exposes the stereotypes imposed onto sexuality within the familial and social constructs, and its performativity in a virtual, suppositional world.
