In European history, the late medieval described as a mysterious, chaotic period full of difficulties, and calamities, consisting of famine, plague, and war. In this time, the word of religious authorities over personal experience and rational activity.
The Black Death make a comprehensive reform of European society, cause a strong surge of unrest, magnify the weakness of human nature infinitely, and reflect the miseries of the civilians. This period is recorded by numerous artworks, such as Bosch, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The various aspects of the human world and life stories can be seen. I adapt stories from The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, express in a traditional linear narrative from an outsider's perspective. I express an old story in a new way, focusing on the movie The Canterbury Tales by Pier Paolo Pasolini, connecting the ancient story and the current context.
In this project, I did abundant research about the lifestyle in the medieval period and the correlative artworks as a method prepared to build the story content and contextualized the reference into the current social environment.
