Running #2 - Horse Running Out of the Title Safe Area

2024, generative animation, black & white, silent, loop

The "title safe area" is a post-production term in video editing, referring to the region located in the center of the screen that maintains a certain distance from the edges, used to ensure the complete display of textual information and visual content. This work starts from the edges of this image concept, using horses galloping outside the title safe area to contemplate the visibility of images and the inertia of viewing. Each black horse appears as if breaking free from the confinement of black pixels, racing out of the conventional display area of the screen and emerging in the narrow gaps on the left side. This work attempts to present a path of escape from the predefined visual framework, inviting viewers to shift their gaze from the center of the screen to its boundaries, maintaining a sense of "viewing out of the frame" while still within the image itself.
