Other Story Of My Life (2018 - Current)

Other Story of My Life are Instagram-specific semi-autobiographical performances that aim to amplify the surrealistic qualities of my social media bubble through absurd story-telling collages of texts, photos, and up-to-minute-long videos.

​More info to follow as my thoughts churn.

hardcore pigeon used to be one of the industry’s top secret messengers 〰️✉️□ ever since she was forced to resign by her previous employer due to advancements in e-homing tech, she was recruited by the special ops team. now happily retired, she occasionally spends time with her baguette-ant friend sipping boxed wine and talking about the good ol’ analog times. “these frail wings used to share stories that changed the course of history. it was indeed an electrifying feeling. however, even if i could, i wouldn’t want to go back or even see what i saw again.” . . #hardcore #carrier #pigeon #비둘기 #emoji #weird #gym #workout #moves #dance #피트니스 #운동 #jig #specialops #storyofmylife

visited my carnivoran friend’s training space today and this is her teaching me about the importance of “balance” in life. she has a face of a gentle casual bear, but don’t let her big eyes fool you ( ((□)) ) she is one of the top agents who can get the job pawfectly done without even thinking twice. i first saw her speak at the special ops orientation and remember being deeply moved by her no-b.s.-valor: “i was trained to dribble a basketball, dance towards the hoop and slamdunk. growing up as a naive cub in the circus industry, i was blinded by the job security my employers promised. however, one day i overheard how they were treating one of the senior bears and realized i was wrong. something inside me, an energy force i thought i never had, came out. that moment, one of the throwing-knives flew over and popped the basketball. i blacked out and can’t remember what happened afterwards. phenomenologists here call it the ‘matilda effect’ and now i am here in front of you.” ⚔️□□ . . #bear #곰 #웅녀 #woman #emoji #weird #gym #workout #moves #dance #피트니스 #운동 #jig #specialops #storyofmylife

oh! i forgot to tell you about birdface, who is the muscle of our special ops team □ on normal days, she is either toning her flippers or tuning her aquatic motorcycle while listening to high-frequency hardcore r-egg-aeton jams □□□ ... she once told me that she always felt different from her peers in pre-aviation school due to her flightless condition. what started off as a conscious effort to conform and bulk up as a means to compensate her wing-morphed-flippers, resulted into finding her own unique strengths to fly underwater like no other bird. “i am forever thankful for my wise mentor who pushed and pulled me through rough times. as soon as i realized that my countershading plumage can do much more than simply defeat my own preconceptions, i decided to join our team and help combat the next big detrimental thing for humanity.” ⚔️□□ . . #bird #penguin #woman #arms #fly #emoji #weird #gym #moves #workout #dumbells #specialops #storyofmylife lol
