Palácio de Mente

“Life is lived in the extra beats we hold as time unfolds.”

— The Motivation Manifesto, Brendon Burchard

6 minutes and 33 seconds, Dance Performance-based 3D motion graphic animation, 2022

“Palácio de Mente” is an experimental 3D animation incorporated with motion-captured dance performances inspired by the artist’s dreams and personal experience. Their dream is related to their study of many different aspects of human beings and nature as a space and a structure that contains feelings and spirit. The artist also uncovers their multicultural family background through musical and sonic responses through her body movements illustrated by two deities in the film. Viewers are also encouraged to question and consider the sacredness and power of existing and maintaining their lives.
