Container, not only as a tool for storing and transporting things, but also as a boundary distinguishing the internal from the external space. However, in terms of this Intension, the container is endless, without beginning or end, like Russian nesting dolls, the external space of any container is placed in the internal space of a larger container.
This is the same as the word “Intension” itself (Intension being the collection of all possible things that a word can describe), this “collection” is in a way a conceptual container, it is also endless.
The work presents a progressive movement from the space inside the small container to its outer space and outer again. Through the editing of some scenes, the similar images are presented between the different perspectives of the interior and exterior spaces - a conceptual commonality of the container. In addition, an installation of a container made of natural things is inserted into the video, as if breaking out of an Extension within an Intension.
