“When confronting an image, you are stuck halfway, incomplete” (Randy Yang)
“Confrontation… it is like looking through a blurred screen” (Si-Qi, Peng)
This project being cooperative with artist Peng Si-Qi. It originates from two people giving different interpretations when facing the same image. While studying Chinese traditional ink painting technique, in her works Si-Qi constantly balanced the contradictions between a noble spirit and her personal visual experience. This work takes as its reference the sightseeing photo of Si-QI’s father, as well as interesting with Randy Yang’s coin operated binoculars, which handles the ambiguous feeling when try to depict someone who, in the future, might be the young artist’s father in law. Besides handling the ink painting issue through the image, this work also speculates about the image perspective.
