Hedgehog’s Dilemma (2020)
Photo seriesBefore starting to destroy photos, what I think about is how to look at the indiscriminate image capture that compresses three-dimensional space into two-dimensional reality. Just like the twelve constellations, the starlight does not come from planets in the same region, and the co-constructed images do not mean that they have a similar time-space relationship. This is true of distant galaxies, and so is the world in front of us. Once the shutter is off, the things stored in the photo match up. We are so good at image construction that the truth serves the image, the truth can be discarded, and the truth has nothing to do with reality. All context is within the image.
In this work, artefacts are separated by a tiny central gap in this series of photographs. Before becoming the same body, even though it was only a thin line, it became an untouchable boundary between the two sides. However, I can sill claim that it is a collage of two different images. In two-dimension, this question about the real world doesn't matter anymore.
