Chinese artist records COVID tests inside mouth
STORY: This Chinese artist films COVID tests inside his mouth
"Now I will take my mini camera, put it into my mouth and show the process of COVID-19 test with the most unique view."
Siyuan Zhuji has recorded about 40 tests since March 2022
"I want to show that this is our current life, we're living like this. It is very common for us to do nucleic acid tests, and we do it intensively. We've done it so many times over a period of time. This is what we are currently going through. It's a way of life that's unique to our time."
In many places in China, a negative COVID test is required
to use public transport, and enter schools, places of work, shops, banks and parks
"Our lives feel a little bit like being in imprisonment or confinement, and I feel that way. A lot of these restrictions, rules and policies crushed everyone a little breathlessly."
"This filming project, as I said, I will continue to film. I will continue shooting these videos until the end of the pandemic. If I die before the end, then I will keep shooting until I die. Yeah."
