“We are the problems. We ourselves are exactly what we’re trying to resolve.”
When I was naming the work, the word “method” first popped up in mind. At that time, I was working on various creative materials, and was constantly looking for a better way to work things out. Sometimes there were turns and turmoils in trials and errors. Yet at times the errors turned out to be pleasant surprises. Solving the problems with different methods was almost like a natural law for me. I didn’t realize the fallacy in it until I read the following perception online– The idea of method pre-established oppositions; the more effective a method is, the harder it gets to walk away from the real problem.
From there, I started questioning “the ability to be…,” and began collecting relative information regarding the concept. Although the exhibition is called “Methods,” there lies a helplessness of enforcing the presence of a strange approach. These subjects may have lost certain elements that build into individual identities. With certain loss in functions, the subjects found a new place to be in the paradox. This exhibition contains a collection of my works with “method” as the collective thesis. Multiple dialogues echo and correspond to “the ways I am” as I entitled the exhibition “Methods.”
