《睡與醒之間》和《自己的空房間》由跨界表演作品《空的記憶》(註一)的裝置與長期和周書毅共同發展拍攝的舞蹈影像延伸發展而成。
《睡與醒之間》透過環景攝影機拍攝的數個幾乎超現實空間中的舞蹈影像，串連一場睡與醒之間的旅程。當環景鏡頭不再具備主動捕捉的能力而是全面性的拍攝紀錄時，肢體與空間的關係瞬時放大。圓弧與沒有邊際的視界，企圖於空間流轉變化之下，辯證內在流動與外在世界的緊密與疏離並存。
《自己的空房間》將所有場景抹去，在幾乎沒有邊際的全黑、全白甚或全灰的空間中，人存在一種類真空的狀態裡。肢體繼續奮力探索、找尋，而影子在虛構的空間中，繼續活著。
里爾克說：「這種無邊界的孤寂，它令每一日的生命時光與天地聲息相通，用一個詞來說就是空間，那種人類總能活在裡頭的不可見空間（espace invisible），此空間以數不盡的化現（présences）圍繞著人。」
無論是黑／白／灰其中的人與空間，或是透過環景攝影機納入包容而又變形的「全景」，都是透過肢體向（非日常／日常）外在世界的探索，帶引觀者透過影像，更深入潛進自身內在數不盡的「不可見空間」。

《空的記憶》為周東彥延續近年透過劇場、影像對記憶和空間的探索，在2011-2012年的數位表演藝術實驗計畫，邀請編舞家周書毅共同創作，以「空」和「記憶」為核心發展主軸，運用環景攝影、即時影像處理 、感測器與無線舞台裝置等技術之整合，試圖創造出一個虛實並存之「空的空間」。藉由表演者驅動外在物質世界的變形，呼應其內在抽象的心理狀態，呈現出一幅幅心靈景觀的有機流動。 於2012年數位表演藝術節首演，並在2013受兩岸城市藝術節之邀赴廣州大劇院演出。榮獲2013世界劇場設計大展「互動與新媒體設計」首獎。
The works Between Being Asleep and Awake and An Emptied Room of One's Own extend Chou Tung-Yen’s interdisciplinary work Emptied Memories (note 1) and the experimental dancing images developed by the long-term collaboration between Chou Tung-Yen and Chou Shu-Yi.
Between Being Asleep and Awake depicts the journey between the states of falling asleep and waking up through several nearly surreal dance images taken by a panoramic camera. When the panoramic camera has the ability to comprehensively record but not actively capture images, the relationship between body and space is suddenly strengthened and magnified. Through the flow and variation of spaces and with the arc-shaped and boundless vision, this work seeks to indicate that the closeness and the estrangement between the inner dynamics and the external world coexist.
An Emptied Room of One's Own erases all visible scenes and backgrounds. The nearly boundless space in pure black, white, or grey implies that the person lives in a semi-vacuum state. His limbs struggle hard for something, while his shadow still lives in the imaginary space.
Rainer Maria Rilke has ever said, “This boundless loneliness creates sympathy between our daily life and the nature, namely the invisible space in which we live. And this space surrounds us with its innumerable presences.”
Both the person in the purely black, white, or grey space and the distorted “panoramas” taken by the panoramic camera represent the corporal exploration of the external (non-daily/daily) world. By utilizing images, this exploration helps the spectators to stare deeper into their internal, innumerable, and invisible spaces.

Emptied Memories is an exploration into space and memory through theater and moving image that director Chou, Tung-Yen has undertaken in recent years. In 2011-2012, under the sponsorship of Ministry of Culture, he invited the choreographer Chou, Shu-Yi to try to co-create an "empty space" by using "memory" as the core from which to start. The creation employs the technological integration of panoramic video, real-time image processing, sensors and wireless stage control system. The performer drives the external deformation of the material world, echoing the internal state, in order to present the organic flow of one's mind landscape. The piece won the Best interactive and new media design award in the World Stage Design, 2013, in Cardiff, Wales, U.K.
