Steps to the Best of the City

ARTIST STATEMENT
“JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN’T SEE IT, DOESN’T MEAN IT DIDN’T EXIST.” I am proposing to create a scenario where living space is constructed upon and repurposing its past history while selectively ignoring the imperfection formed during the process. Through disassembled and reconstructed my old watch, I came to realize how much waste I am actually produced even though I was intended to repurpose the object. Each day there are old houses being removed and new apartments arise believing in making this society a better place to live. This installation is to resemble the idea that high-rises within the city are not the only culture artifact we have built up, but the overwhelming production of waste as well. Concern over this issue has brought public’s attention and thought to be ‘managed’ somehow. As part of the community, we more or less aware the problem, but we tended not to care as much if it is not visually presented to us. The purpose of the lenses is standing for the visual clarity which invites each of you to see the complete picture of a whole via a broader perspective. |
