In Double Talk, Tao narrates the comeback of a Korean idol singer from his death via the duo-channel video installation. Through the Q&A between the idol and the journalists chasing after, it examines how the pop culture and the mass media influence individuals. The right channel of the work is derived from the star-making campaign in the Korean entertainment industry, using the TV lexicon from Korean drama to fabricate a surreal story. After the unnatural death, the not-so-successful idol returns to earthly world, pursued by the press. The video showcases how the idol employs the common tricks of evasion as responses to the mass media while subtly discloses the key information before his death. Sometimes, he is an idol that receives interviews; other times, he is an actor putting up yet another show in the structure of performance. The constant identity swapping thus creates a sense of uncertainty with multiple identities. The video of the right channel appears on the TV in a classroom of the left channel as a teaching material in the educational scene. The teacher talks to the students on stage to analyze scenes and speeches of the idol, while the students gaze attentively without any response.
