Unknown Connection Line is the third part of the trilogy that
tells the story of “Yinglin's” journey to and arrival at MONDO. The unknown connection
line also refers to the connection between people, between cultures and
cultures, and between many relationships. The relationship between
"Yinglin" and the social group, as well as between
"Yinglin" and herself, is revealed. In MONDO's life, and in the
two-way interaction with other members of the society and with the society,
"Yinglin" has been working towards the goal of becoming a member of
the society. The contradictions and struggles are reflected in the specific,
metaphorical images and music. The countdown in the work is like the abstract
distance between “Yinglin” and the society. The fact that the countdown does
not end completely means that the distance between “Yinglin” and the social
group does not disappear completely, and also means that “Yinglin's” own
cultural identity is not completely transformed. The unknown connection line in
the work, which is the embodiment of the relationship between different objects
in the work, is also always in flux.
This
work as the last of the trilogy, places the relationship between “Yinglin” and
the social group at a distance of 0.000001. This also implies that the state of
verbuchstabieren's identity is also always in the process of transformation and
change. It does not disappear completely, nor does it stop completely. The
dilemma of the identity of the intercultural immigrants is also illustrated
sideways.
