The work begins with an ancient Chinese Legend story. Nüwa was the celestial being who used the clay to create the human beings in the world. In this video performance, I tried to reinterpret the story. Being the God and having the strongest power to make and shape human, I used the white clay and my shaping tools to create my own perfect “human being”(the perfect white cylinder) in my world. The suspend video installation is the working desktop for Nüwa to execute her work. Through the overlook perspective, everyone is the god in my work.
I enjoy in looping process of shaping and refining my human, and be pleased with my perfect trophies, although the truth is that all these ten humans are almost the same after my delicate refining process.What are the criteria of perfect? When referring to those perfect and successful stories, everything seems to be similar. Everyone tried to copy others' story to become the next perfect people. However, the truth is that all the humans will be assimilated into the same perfect white cylinders eventually…
