Breakfast Party (Virtual)

Sophy Chang and others

As the virus rages throughout the world with no sign of recovery in the
near future, most people have experienced what feels like an endless quarantine,
craving for interaction with people in person. To get over this sense of disconnection,
Hanying and Sophy performed a virtual breakfast party on Instagram, a Social
Network Service(SNS) platform, where people, including their artist peers, can link
to one another.

This project shows the sense of disconnection during the pandemic, but at the same time provides the audience the warmth of the artists’ shared bond trough the internet. Compared to lunch and dinner, breakfast can make for a more intimate moment because people don’t often officially showcase it to the public.
