Mobius Strip, is an animation of snap shots and text of monologues composed by the artist. This imagery shows feet that are walking fast, as if they are chasing something unknown. There is a frenetic and paranoid urgency to this video.
In the end the boundary between the chasers and the chased gets blur as the line on a Mobius Strip suggests.

Mobius Strip

walking.
I am walking.
Walking, walking and walking.
Sometimes, there are two opposites in me.
When I was young, they were a devil and an angel.
Look, they chase themselves but never crossing path.
Uncompromising,
Not negotiable,
They try to get close to each other, trying and trying,
Always remaining same place.
No matter how much they try to walk away
But never be able to escape.
Always remaining same place.

Opposites are out there, too.
It could be a man and a woman.
They try to come together.
Yet they never can.
They just remain in their own (places).
No compromise, none negotiable.

It turned out to be a complicated relationships of many.
They come from behind them or in front of them.
From left or from right
Sometimes from all direction at once
But, they never cross path.

Walking,
Walking, walking and walking.
I am looking for someone.
I see him.
He is walking.
I am following.
But, I am getting tired.

I am fallowing the line.
I’m relieved that the line runs continuously.

Don’t slow down.
Don’t be slow.

There are many people.
They are so busy.
Don’t slow down.

There are so many people in this world.
I can see myself.
I find myself.
I find him.
There are so many people.
I am looking for him.
I see him.

Speed doesn’t matter in the high places.
Don’t lose it.
Don’t lose it.
It disappears.

From somewhere, I feel a scent.
I am chasing the scent.
I am drunk by it.
I’m dizzy.
Dizzying.
I lose my consciousness.

Someday I can see only yellow.
I am chasing the yellow.

Someday I see only red.
I am chasing the red.
Someday I see only blue.
I am chasing the blue.

Where I am?
There are too many colors.

I am chasing someone.
I don’t know who.
I am chasing.
Is it me that I am chasing or is it he?

I am chasing myself.
I am chasing myself.
