Norah's head detaches from her body and is replaced with...different heads!

Babble Bubble is a three and half-minute 2D animation which tells the story of a girl whose head detaches from her body and is replaced with different heads. It aims to portray a personal but not confessional mindset of not being mindful of daily life and splitting one’s identities and behaviors throughout different social media platforms. It is a reflection on the dissociation from self and intimacy in relationships that arises in response to hyper-mediated modern life.

BABBLE BUBBLE by RICHAN LI
https://richanli.art/

"Inspired by Don Hertzfeldt’s World of Tomorrow and Alex Grigg’s Phantom Limb, I work with vulnerable moments involving depression, anxiety, and fear. My work expresses these feelings in the narrative. The message is: You are not alone. My 2D animation Babble Bubble, uses the metaphor of a girl whose head detaches from her body and is replaced with different heads to translate a personal but not confessional mindset of not being mindful of daily life and splitting one’s identities and behaviours throughout different social media platforms. It is a reflection on the dissociation from self and intimacy in relationships that arises in response to hyper-mediated modern life.

During Babble Bubble’s production, I had lots of help from everywhere, school, family, and friends. Especially in 2020, while the COVID-19 pandemic was going on, I suddenly found myself experiencing what Norah, my main character, is experiencing, social connecting relies on social media heavily, exercising at home on a yoga mat, retrospective and trying to be mindful. Fortunately, Babble Bubble’s production held my attention together and kept me away from being overwhelmed by all the information spreading on social media. And thanks to social media and technology, I am able to continue to study, connect with others, and do my grocery shopping through multiple online platforms. And so, to me, my film is a reflection on the dissociation from self and intimacy in relationships that arises in response to hyper-mediated modern life, however, it is not meant as a condemnation of the technology that allows us to stay in touch, but rather as a reminder for us all to stay aware of who we are."
