the idea is to present a piece which references the issue of climate change as a major topic in the environmental debate
a four-channel synchronized video work would be installed (depending on the specifics of the exhibition space, the piece may be installed as a three-channel, or even a two-channel work). video would include images from the Bali conference, combined with images from local Hanoi traffic, especially exhaust pipes and fumes. Other images, directly or indirectly related to the theme of climate change, including CO2 emissions, and expressing hope and lament would also be used, as well as some use of digital effects
the images would be projected onto the four sides of a cube installed in the exhibition space. the cube would consist of strips of plexiglas suspended from the ceiling in such a way that they are free to rotate. the four sides of this cube of plexiglas strips would thus form the four screens onto which the video is projected. the observer would be confronted with fragmented images which would merge, interact with and affect one another and would cast their reflections into every corner of the exhibition space. in so doing they make reference to the complexity of the debate, the intransigence of some of the players, and the far-reaching effects expected, as well as the hopes and fears related to the seriousness of the issue

the video and installation are surrounded by prepared sounds based on the recorded street noises, also by a live noise performance using electronic devices and laptop computer, and all are the reflection of this too noisy and polluted city and also related to video''s subject, the moving sound and a heavy live noise performance will also work with the moving images and video installation in these interactive ways
