Whenever we see a banner of councilor being scratched or damaged, we may have snigger on it because of the “funny additive” added on the images. The scars on faces, cracks on teeth and the missing eyes are what we can commonly observe from the victimized image or banners.

01 contentSomeone will just treat this phenomenon as a foolish prank and passes away. I think, however, it is a quite interesting subject matter by reading the scratches. They, mostly strangers, create a narration onto the banner. I believe every scratch on banner have their own stories, which are related to both the one who scratched and the one who being scratched.

What I am going to do is not investigating the intention and behavior of those who create the narration. On the contrary, I try to project the stories behind each scratch by repairing them. Afterwards audience with different political and educational background may have advanced interpretation about the scratches based on my repairing.

I collect and repair the destroyed images to expose and to introspect the implied stories to the audience.

Artist Statement :

細看每一條被破壞的痕跡，我們都能閱讀到超越一張圖像所呈現的故事，這些故事來自破壞者及被破壞者。透過為他們修補影像，我向觀眾展示及反思這些故事。

Observing every scratch in images found in the streets, we can find some inside stories behind the visual images. I collect and repair the destroyed images to expose and to introspect the implied stories to the audience.

presentation

video 1setting

video 2setting

There are two different presentations of video according to different situations. I prefer the video1 setting in normal case.

Two screens show two different videos.

On Left screen, there would be 7 videos looping the different spots which I went to collect the banners.

On Right screen, there would be the video showing the process of repairing by looping two videos (hand-repairing and computer-repairing)

One screen only shows one video.The screen only presents one all-in-one video showing some remarkable scene of the whole process in collecting and repairing the banners

Please read the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV_GvD_gNfc
