Based on Alain Robbe-Grillet’s novel Glissements Progressifs du Plaisir and his film by the same name in the 1970s, THE RAY (2013)demonstrates the complex relationship between two young girls and implies a mysterious homicide. The video manages to simply itself in terms of form, with no dialogue and few references to any specific environment, only an intense light making the image seemingly neutral and abstract, more concerned to the state of mind and relationship.

《光》这部录像基于罗伯特Ÿ格里耶的小说《欲念浮动》拍摄而成,它描绘了两个青年女子之间错综复杂的关系。
