Appendix B- ProductAnother fascinating art piece would be
I’m not Expensive, 2008 by Lee Yong Deok (Korea). Click
here to view the video on YouTube. This is a tricky art piece as it plays trick to our eyes. The objects in the art piece are indented into the walls. Just by looking at it does not reveal anything special. However, if you focus on a particular object and walk horizontally, the art piece is actually moving! For example, the couple in blue is dancing and waltzing! Isn’t this amazing?
This art piece by a fellow Singaporean also left me a deep impression. It is named
Who Is This Family, 2008 by Rachel Goh (Singapore). As we stepped into the room, we saw 5 photo frames hanging on the wall, featuring a family portrait. At first I was wondering why are there 5 identical pictures displayed. The next second, I realized that every portrait is different only in terms of their physical position within the photograph. The poses and clothes were maintained. What a creative art piece!
Bus Stop features a video of shadows of people waiting at the bus stop. Some might find it scary but I do find it kind of interesting. Observing the small actions by the people in the video is interesting.
Infinite Islands and
Altitude of 10,000m are done by
Furuda Ryuro (Germany). These beautiful images are not “real scenes”. The author is trying to explore the beautiful global environment that surrounds us. Stepping into the room gives me a tranquil feeling which eases my mind.
Tropicana (2008) is done by
E Chen who is living in Taiwan. The first picture features the yarn. The author showed us how the yarn is being woven into different shapes like the scooter and ivy and how it is transformed back to yarn. It helped us witness the transformation of object from its initial state of manufactured items and disintegration back to mounds of yarn.
