T is a 4-channel video, with music by Eli Osheyack, performance and voiceover by Naomi Yu. Taking imagery of feet as a starting point, Li subtly interweaves the experience of a customer service representative (positioned as a straight, cis male) of a Taobao women’s socks online retailer, with reminiscent self-narrations, internet slangs, and cultural symbols. Through the non-linear narratives and fragmented visuals, the film exposes the stereotypes imposed onto sexuality within the familial and social constructs, and its performativity in a virtual, suppositional world.
