Chen Dandizi created this dual-channel video piece before her graduation. It is named after the time period required for a pot of water to boil in the video. The left screen shows a pot of boiling water, and the right one shows some foreign matter dropping into an inverted eye. The reactions happening in both screens get more and more intense over time.
The juxtaposition of two seemingly irrelevant images generates a particular tension, which further produces a certain kind of empathic association. In the process of watching, viewers get caught by a strong yet invisible force. The work presents that the object is suffering from irresistible “violence” from the outside, and experiencing a process from calm to out-of-control in formation. Although the “perpetrators” are not shown in the camera, we could still perceive the existence of certain kinds of power relationships through the gradually intensive reactions happening in both screens.

陈丹笛子创作于毕业前的一个双频录像《3’17’’》以录像中一锅水烧开所需要的时间来命名。左边屏幕是一锅正在煮沸的水，右边是一只倒置的眼睛不断被滴入异物，随着时间的推移，两组影片中作用客体的反应愈发激烈。

两个看似无关的画面并置在一起，形成一种特有的张力，令人产生某种共情的联想。在观看录像的过程中，仿佛有一股强大却又无形的力量挟持着观者的神经。作品展现了客体持续遭受着来自外界的不可抵挡的“暴力”，经历着从平静到失控的形态过程。虽然“施暴者”被隐藏在镜头之外，我们却能从对象愈加强烈的反应中，感知到二者间某种权力关系的存在。
