Bill Goes on Vacation

作品賞析

CHEN Wan-Jen is skilled in animated art and his creative subjects and his surreal video compositions are largely inspired by individuals or events he encounters on a daily basis. Bill Goes on Vacation is a continuation of Good Morning, Mr. Bill series. In this video, the classical desktop wallpaper of Windows was utilized as the main background. Mr. Bill (named after Bill Gates) is shown cruising in a private luxury yacht upon this classical Windows Desktop with azure oceans and skies. A tropical island that serves as a symbol of vacation was included to create a familiar yet detached scene. CHEN Wan-Jen has successfully introduced his personal ideas in everyday themes, taking information often taken for granted and employing them in unexpected ways to provide viewers with a funny moment from seemingly mundane everyday things.
