Judgement Day
Video ,2022
"The enjoyment of this life is illusory."
"Religion is illusory. Art is illusory. Enjoying art is illusory. The cognitive system of an individual is illusory."
So how do we define reality and illusion and find a balance between them? How do we truly serve our emotions and senses while gazing at the essence of the world?
Social structure, ethics and cultural system were merely created by the established to maintain order. Based on this constructed system, monetary wealth and social strata have been born and endowed with value and significance.
When Judgment Day comes, civilization, system, morality and ethics, and social structure are detached from human beings, who will pray for spiritual belief sustenance, and focus on their deepest emotional and sensory pursuit. On that day, the degenerated and immoral cannot be spurned; the noble and beautiful are deprived of their value. On that day, the richest superposition state of the world will be formed, before all the elements of reality and illusion, material and spirit, collapse.
This project aims to create the conditions for the emergence of the spiritual world in the exhibition space (the spiritual world is where human beings repeatedly ponder over a certain problem in a state of concentration and contemplation. There, human beings are spiritually nurtured.) Through the medium of video, the project tries to make the public re- examine the relationship between themselves and the material world, so as to reflect on the essential individual pursuit while being immune to the influence of the existing system.
