In Vacuo

Liminal long-form | solitude • stillness • in-between
In Vacuo by Haoyuan Ren — a lucha libre wrestler in full costume sits alone in a room of empty folding chairs, head bowed, numbered lockers behind him. The performance has not begun or has already ended. Verified human capture of the in-between: the condition of being present without fully arriving. Opening image of an ongoing long-form series documenting liminal human states across Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Hong Kong, and China since 2012.
