On and on and on is a collaborative video work that combines photography, music and performance art. The core of the work is to discuss the meaning of repetition and its fluidity and orientation that cannot be ignored. The repetitiveness in life is considered unbearable by most people because people always look at every moment of life from a result-oriented perspective, requiring every moment to have a clear meaning and output. From this perspective, those large, ordinary, and seemingly completely identical life contents will easily be bored or ignored by people. People always want to skip the repetitive process and jump directly to the end to enjoy the results. The excessive pursuit and persistence of results are often accompanied by neglect and lack of patience of the process, and there is no "connection" with the present. At the end of the film, the key is successfully turned, but whether the door is successfully opened becomes unknown. But whether it is opened or not, it cannot change those unquantifiable experiences, which constitute the poetic dimension of existence.
