Floating #Bus

作品賞析

SHEU Jer-Yu uses photographs to capture fleeting moments and scenes from everyday life to invoke viewers to think about space, symbols, images, and truth. Floating #Bus is an extended exposure photograph of an interior of a tour bus. The screen has turned white as a result of over-exposure, transforming it into a glowing night lamp contrasted with the empty seats of the bus, turning the latter into a surreal and desolate dreamscape. Various monitors and displays have occupied our lives, becoming vectors that provide videos and entertainment while replacing the central hearth of many living rooms or windows for receiving sunlight. SHEU Jer-Yu uses videos to create abstract spaces of dark boxes where viewers can imagine themselves to be, thereby disclosing the functional detachment of the modern world and technological advancements.
