No-Land: Life in 2223

The plot

Human civilization was born in the ocean. Science research shows that all lives including humans originated from the ocean. The future of human beings would be closely related to the ocean as well.

Many forecasts show that in 2050, the rising seas will erase a large number of coastal cities. In the year 2223, the evolved humans are starting to build ‘No-Land’, a hypothetical underwater residential area in a parallel universe, set in the situation of the disappearance of land. Lei invites the viewer to enter this fantastical world and meet three underwater citizens. Licht (which appears as Lux in its virtual form) is your neighbour, Lacey is a landlord and collector, and Lachesis runs a delivery service. The fashion performance film illustrates characters and their surroundings through the use of colours, materials, the form of their bodies, and methods of filming. Lei depicts the scenario using mixed techniques including digital experiments from character modelling to digital fashion creation, and physical making processes from fish leather tanning to analogue photography, to celebrate the malleability of future human identities.
