A major part of her creation in art practice can be attributed to the use of a single and uninterrupted fixed lens as well as the post-editing of movement scenes. However, chasing scenes launched by an object (such as the airplane in The Third Man and the spinning gyro in The Progress of Ending) have also carried a lot of scenes and details with evolution and digressions. They have simultaneously emerged themselves in close-up shots and have thereby led into “gazing” scenes, just like what Jean-Luc Godard meant by mentioning fiction created by gazing in Introduction of Movie History, therefore introducing fiction.
