A Disordered Dictionary discusses women’s political identity. The project is divided into two parts: a film screening and a scene installation in the gallery. The film portrays a young woman’s journey as she struggles to escape from a system represented by an anonymous male voice while confined to a small room. She constructs her own language system with her dictionary from her distressing experiences. The installation includes the actual film set, a 6*5*8ft cage, with props such as a giant eye and male figures on the walls, symbolizing the audience’s imprisonment and monitoring in the same way as in the film.
