Dr. Breann Zamboni in Larp is an experimental attempt by the artist. The image consists of a “pseudo-documentary” live documentary and another conceptual video. Larp refers to a live role-playing game, and the artist himself is one of the players of the game, playing a character named Dr. Breann Zamboni. Therefore, the video shot during the game has become a product of a combination of unexpected conditions and uncontrollable factors. Creating images with Larp is a completely unpredictable project. Virtual identities, sudden situations, and accidental conflicts are placed in a space, forming a closed experimental image field. In addition, the photographic documentation part of the project was commissioned to video artist Zhou Yinglin.
