PHOTO ART

IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD (1 min video, artworks made in 2018-2020)

  

From Artist's Statement, January 2021:


In order to delicately demonstrate and elicit the concerns about the future of humanity, the post-apocalyptic theme intrinsically offers the perfect photographic elements for the visual design of the artwork. I deliberately and keenly came back to and worked with the post- apocalyptic theme over and over again…. until the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering we’ve all been through an almost apocalypse-like situation during the pandemic, I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s no need to imagine a post-apocalyptic world anymore.

The PANDEMIC Series

  

2-minute video. All of the artworks presented in this video were created during the Covid-19 pandemic. The pieces directly address the virus crisis and depict the different stages of the pandemic from January 2020 to February 2021 in chronological order.

RED (1 min video, artworks made in 2019-2020)

From Artist's Statement, 2019-2020:


…. However, I’m not trying to find the most adequate color combination. I’m not actually after beauty or perfection. On the contrary, I deliberately destroy, demolish, deconstruct, and distort my images. I try to show the elegance in the non-beautiful, the stability in the unbalanced, and the charm in the imperfect. On the other hand, I care about composition and texture. They are the grammar of my artistic language.


...I do not wish my images to be evocative. I prefer my work to provoke the viewer into thinking and perceiving outside the generally accepted constructs of normality. Through my art, I hope that the audience will confront with the eternal dilemma of modernity and tradition, and the paradox between right and wrong.
