Project 1B: Paradox

 

When I read the requirements, the first distinctively local spot come to me is the Singapore Flyer.In my opinion, the ferris wheel is  fantasy and romantic. And I’m also inspired by Interstellar,which is a  science fiction film. The concept ‘wormhole’ is the inspiration that how I make use of the Singapore Fly.  The ferris wheel is a shortcut for  journeys across reality and personal space. I chose to use the galaxy as the a individual ‘s private space. Because galaxy gives me a infinite feeling. I can think freely in my personal space.

For me,the reality and my private space are conflict. That’s where the paradox is  in my work. Sometimes you just want to enjoy yourself alone but you have to face some social issues. But one can not live without social activities. People need to communication.and you may find another interesting soul.  So you must step out your comfortable zone (which is your private space) and enter into reality. Only if you  get used to the reality rules that you can achieve you life value.

Process taken are: take a continuous shoot when I was walking and collage all the elements together in Photoshop. When I play with these elements I have created several different version of work and I can give a different meaning to them . That is the very interesting part of the project and I enjoy that a lot.
