Pop Mart: Mega Space Molly

The figures sit in a receding corridor of cases, each one costumed differently and lit from inside its own box, and the camera carries past them without cutting. The variation does the work an edit would normally do.

Holding one move means nothing can be hidden in a cut. The light has to carry the whole length of the shelf, and every figure has to stand up to being seen at the same distance as the one before it.

Three frames across the move: where it starts, the middle of the pass and where it ends. The piece is one continuous camera rather than a cut sequence, so the row is short by design.

The Smart Local calls the film the brainchild of Oh Jia Hao, better known as Lioncolony. Alvinology and Shout credit it the same way, and Time Out names the studio among the exhibition's collaborators.
