Daydreaming: Echo | 白日梦: 回音 (2015)
This installation, Daydreaming: Echo, is intended to create a psychedelic atmosphere, suggestive of brainwashing, which brings viewers into a simulated world of reinterpretation. Using appropriated historical imagery of global contemporary political events, fragments of photographs are reflected off a spinning disco ball onto a darkened room, which divides and converts the interpretation of the images’ original history. The reproduction of images, via the viewers’ use of social media, retells a new history, ultimately redefining our conception of the past.
