Collapse

作品賞析

TSAI Shih-Hung’s Collapse depicts an end-of-day battle, establishing a mythical empire that was built and dismantled at the same time. The virtual and artificial empire includes the Statue of Liberty that we are familiar with, neat formations of marching soldiers, colored bombs that appear like fireworks and dense, black smoke that billow and spread throughout the composition. The dark skies and lands exhibit a sense of desolation and destruction. TSAI Shih-Hung established images of battles that involve both reality and fantasy, while declaring that the viewers would largely feel detached from these events. The passage of time will also reduce everything into an emotionless ruin.
