Sing a Song on the Ground

Bamboo Forest

Just as the image on the screen contains a real photograph of an encounter with a bamboo forest, the advertising screen also presents a real image located in a fake landscape. A landscape filled with bamboo that grows out of concrete. There is a play here with seriality, an order that repeats but refuses to copy, a simulation which refuses to conform to the idea.

A advertisement screen stand in a fake bamboo forest. On the screen is a photograph in which we see a ghostly image of a woman walking through a passage within a dense bamboo forest. An indexical image that draws us into its digital frame. Yet, oddly, once we arrive, we encounter a ghostly movement which casts doubt on our encounter. Is this a dream or reality? Fake or real, past or future, this dialectical image leads to a landscape of invention in which art is at one with the frame of nature. In reframing the photograph, Bamboo Forest relocates us to a landscape that beckons us to escape the confines of the screen. Just as the image on the screen contains a real photograph of an encounter with a bamboo forest, the advertising screen also presents a real image located in a fake landscape. A landscape filled with bamboo that grows out of concrete. There is a play here with seriality, an order that repeats but refuses to copy, a simulation which refuses to conform to the idea. There is one more element to this work, which is essential to the installation this is  the element of sound,  creaking bamboo, the music of nature. This creative intervention of nature casts us into the real complexity that is nature's reality of the creative landscape.
