Yellow Submarine
In November 1998, the submarine sailed into a labyrinth of coral. The spotlight illuminated a vibrant and mesmerizing scene. The crew misjudged the distance between two coral reefs, causing the submarine to become trapped, unable to move. Six hours later, the camera captured a blue submarine approaching from the distance, launching two torpedoes at the Aleph. The torpedoes precisely shattered the coral, freeing the submarine. The crew, on the verge of losing consciousness due to lack of oxygen, quickly maneuvered the submarine towards the surface. The mysterious submarine vanished into the deep sea like a ghost, and they never encountered it again during the rest of their voyage.
From The Submarine at Night, Chen Chuncheng, 2020.
A ritual was performed before this meditative drawing. Using tarot cards and spells revealed the story of each bone found by the Thames River. Through imagined dialogues with their former owners, the process became automatic.
