Wild Aspirations- The Yellow Sheep River Project

作品賞析

CHOU Ching-Hui is a photographer. In Wild Aspirations – The Yellow Sheep River Project, the artist has collected vast amounts of illustrations about computers from children from Yellow Sheep River of China’s Gansu Province, and using these illustrations as a component to complete his photographic compositions. In this work, CHOU Ching-Hui has taken three different photographs of the same child to convey the relationships of the photographer and the photographed, the recorder and the recorded, as well as the narrator and the narrated. These three photographs show the child staring at CHOU Ching-Hui, the child emulating the pose of the cute monster shown in the illustration, and a half-body portrait of the child making a naughty face. By using these photographs, CHOU Ching-Hui hopes to communicate the anxiety and vulnerability experienced by the child behind his innocent expressions and the incongruence between our ideals and the actual world.
