Become Useful
The widespread use of the term 'mature' reflects the discipline of economic models on regional groups, and artists explore it through the universal pursuit of the collective unconscious behavior of 'mature'.
The fragmented, incomplete, fuzzy, and inconsistent primitive images have become increasingly fragmented under the influence of special reasons such as historical changes. Artists attempt to express their view that individual value should not be measured by 'mechanical replication' standards through the use of highly symbolic ready-made materials: trees. This single evaluation standard is filled with the influence of patriarchy, attempting to eliminate individual differences.
The act of defining the value of trees is itself a form of alienation that landscape society regulates and trains individuals. Under the continuous alienation of collective unconsciousness and landscape society, 'success' dissolves individual differences (i.e. existence), while also dissolving the diversity of the world.
Background: The artist was born in Northeast China. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's economic centers were mostly concentrated in Northeast and North China, and the Northeast was dominated by forestry and light and heavy
industries. In contrast, the impact of forestry on the Northeast is more extensive. In this context, because the requirement for trees is widely used, the word "become useful" is gradually used on people, and it has become a kind of
expression with the expectations of the elders. Criteria for judging individual worth.
The diameter of the work exceeds 50cm and the height exceeds 300cm, which meets the wood standard in terms of data. The rough appearance is also a radical way to ask the audience whether this is "wood" or not.
Supplement: In the selection of work materials, recognizable ready-made materials are superimposed to present a absurd shape, attempting to detach people's inherent thinking from cognition and break free from the constraints of traditional concepts.
