LIPING ZHANG
First of all, from the photos, we can see that people look down at mobile phones, bend their bodies, bow their heads, as if they were going to sink into mobile phones, and be absorbed by mobile phones. All they can do is to look at mobile phones without facial expression.
Make a installation, my original idea.
Cut down the action, outline and part of the human body in the pictures to make an abstract sculpture.
With black and white, it appears that the characters have no vitality.
People of different genders, ages, classes and living conditions are watching mobile phones.
I wanted to show these people in the installation, so I chose to make a group sculpture.
Placing sculptures on plain white paper is too monotonous.
With mirror paper, when viewers are looking at the works, their reflections are reflected on the paper. Maybe they can think about themselves?
Of course, in the process of making statues, I added textile, which I am good at.
After completion
Individually, it seems that the effect is OK, but put together, too messy, there is no focus.
And I hope the audience can see every aspect of each sculpture from all angles.
Individual display of each sculpture is too monotonous.
too dense to put them together.
At the same time, I started a market sell, the process of talking with the guests was very pleasant and my shopping bags were sold out.
But I just feel that maybe after the conversation is over things won’t change.
It is not strong enough to rely solely on discussion, photos and sculptures.
Make a performance art.
Put the reality in front of people.
About the mobile phone project, use the mobile phone to show.
Mobile phones still display photos? No
Two people sit face to face and look at their cell phones.
They watch the videos on their mobile phones which shows two people sat face to face, watching their mobile phones.
The audience can walk in and observe the performers.
Record the video first. In the video, a person is watching the mobile phone, and the person in the mobile phone is also watching the mobile phone.
Send the video to the audience, and when the audience looks down at the mobile phone, they will become part of the performance.
Two people sit face to face and looked at their cell phones.
Set the scene, the restaurant
No chat, just look at the cell phone. Maybe a looks at the cell phone for a while, looks up at b, then bow his head.
Maybe A and B raise their heads and look at each other at the same time, then lowering their heads and avoid talking.
Losing the ability to communicate,
Stand a laugh emoji, but the face is expressionless
Facial muscle degeneration
Performers dress up to meet their friends, but don't talk.
