The Man Who Watches Scenery
The work uses two monitoring devices at work as the main thread (one in the artist's bedroom and the other in the exhibition hall) to create an inviting posture towards t h e a u d i e n c e b y c o m b i n i n g the monitoring of the artist's bedroom with the display screen in the exhibition hall. When the audience participates in the work as viewers, the other monitoring device located above the display screen begins to disintegrate the audience's identity and endow them with the identity of the audience, At this point, the work attempts to explore more possible wholeness in the relationship between people.
In the initial stage of creation, the height of the work and the hidden cardboard were planned to be compared to the layout of simulated real monitoring. The reason for choosing hard cardboard materials is that on the one hand, it can eliminate the physiological pressure of monitoring on the audience (discomfort in exposed privacy spaces), and on the other hand, it is to filter out a portion of the audience who are not particularly careful. The underlying logic of the work is based on the "desire to see oneself", and the lack of desire to see oneself can increase the difficulty for participants to enter the context of the work.
