Recently, in Chinese social media, people felt that they can talk less and less. Everyone gradually finds that they can't see the news they want to know. The information they want to know will be replaced by advertisements and some boring entertainment news about some random actor cheat on his wife. Even there is someone want to say something about their true feeling, they will be worried about mentioned keywords get deleted by the system.
I feel that the window of information has been gradually changed back to a wall that is impenetrable. They deleted some feminist accounts, and they deleted the video about the audiences sang 'do you hear the people sing' after watching Les Mis, they even deleted a re-filled version of cell block tango that is made by musical lovers because they mentioned in the lyrics about the recent crimes against women in China.
But maybe everyone likes this version too much or feel angry that the singer's account has been deleted, or just because people can stand what they like get delete again and again, so many people started to repost this video no matter how many time it gets deleted. To be honest, this was just an ordinary music video, In the context of the Internet, this video can be remembered for up to 3 days, but now everyone remembers this event.
The brick wall of the crypt gallery just gives the vibe I want.
I think that sometimes blocking is not a good thing. Thoughts are like liquids. The tighter they catch, the more they slip away. So I want to create something looks like liquid.
I started with resin, but it turned out so delicate, I can't even move it around.
After mixing some wax this problem had been solved.
For me, pink glitter is a synonym for all the good things. And from the review of the exhibition, lots of people share the same idea as me.
And after setting up in the gallery, the brick wall of the crypt gallery just gives the prison vibe I want.
