作品介紹
Workers Holding Placards - a Portrait Project takes the workers holding placards as the subject, and uses the artist’s physical action to record the workers’ laboring state. The project attempts to create a reversal of the imagination of portrait painting. Through the artist’s action and creative process, it responds to a social practice highly common to this generation. It is used to explore how body image is currently presented, as well as the the complex relationship resulting from the dynamic tension between creative labor, individual, collective, and social mechanisms.
