    Holographic Projection Costume Show Twins

    In the 18th century, the German classical philosopher Kant proposed the philosophical concept of thing-in-itself, referring to an objective entity that exists outside of peoples feelings and understanding. He believes that peoples perceptual knowledge is produced by the influence of foreign objects. People can only understand the phenomenon that foreign objects act on the senses. We will explore and express the philosophical concept of thing-in-itself through the combination of costumes and holographic projection. Through the holographic projection technology, the physical costumes are divided into virtual three-dimensional images. This image cannot be touched and perceived, and can be compared to an objective entity that exists outside peoples feelings and understandings, that is, the thing-in-itself. In the concept of costume design, we get inspiration from traditional styling and refine it. Using traditional techniques such as tie-dyeing, weaving, and crocheting, combined with the scientific and technological strength of holographic projection technology, the sense of simplicity and the sense of science and technology are intertwined to create a fantastic parallel world.

However, does protection mean to hurt someone else by using our dagger?]This is a story which time and space are highly abstracted. The story is about a mother who lost her daughter in the war and a young handsome war criminal. They are standing from different points of view to face the cruel justice and the hatred of kindred, which caused them to fight each other with dagger……This is the allegory about humanity and truth. Also, this adaption pays more attention to another different perspective which enforces the main thought of the dagger, an invisible weapon that everyone owns. It also focuses on the story of salvation between the mother who would die to protect her child and the soldier who kills for survival.We may hurt people around us unconsciously by releasing our weapon in order to defend our faith and protect our love that is deep inside of hearts. After that, yet we still try to justify this guilt by getting it a reasonable ground……Is humanity been used by this dagger or, on the contrary, it uses dagger? How can we define right or wrong?
