Title: If – 2120
Medium: Photo projection, frame installation
Year: 2020
Artist Statement:
It’s the year 2120, this is how our nature looks. Nature is a framed image, a projection or documentary film, but, no longer real.
These images are stills from a fictionalized setting of a nature-disappeared future in the year 2120 (a century from now). I have chosen to present my idea through image projection as this medium creates a blurry and dramatic effect. Blurred vision helps create a sense of distancing, which indicates that people in the future may have a fuzzy impression about nature as they have never seen or experienced its authentic beauty.
