Eduardo WILLIAMS
Asian premiere
Different groups of friends wander in a rainy, windy, dark world. They spend time together, trying to get away from their depressing jobs, meandering constantly towards the mystery of new possibilities.
The Human Surge 3 is a series of Eduardo Williams, who created a sensation with The Human Surge (2016) that embodies the world¡¯s separated fragments in a global capitalistic environment through a creative narrative. The reason why the second series The Human Surge 3 instead of The Human Surge 2 remains unknown. Compared to the previous The Human Surge that traversed Argentina, Mozambique, and the Philippines to build an amorphous and nonlinear narrative, The Human Surge 3 takes place in Sri Lanka, Peru, and the Philippines, and takes more experiments by editing 360-degree camera sources with virtual reality. While the three countries in The Human Surge 3 were completely separated, the countries in The Human Surge 3 are connected in a spiral shape. Both series use the virtual network to link people who are geographically separated and visualize the traces of wandering youth by using vague and unfocused images. Williams¡¯ exploration is themed on the world¡¯s uncertainty, ambiguity, and fate of wandering people, and finds the rhythm of life in the surreal scenes of coarse particles, dim color and texture, and dynamically moving camera work.
