Performers can choose either to lie on the ground and raise their hand for help, or help someone up. Through the cyclical processes of lying down and standing up, and the reciprocal role of helping and being helped, Isaac Chong Wai investigates the formation of individual/group consciousness and the dynamics of social norms.
