Mirror (2016-2019)

The mirror is a collage experiment based upon the concept of “maze.” By documenting mundane events and collecting massive real time images, artist used these images as sense data and re-presented them in a new spatial relationship by re-editing, serializing, and generating. Zhang explores the potential narrative of digital images, de-constructed the authenticity of images established and revealed the power of the gaze executed through the lens of the camera.

镜像项目以“图像的迷宫”的概念进行图像拼贴实验,在该摄影拼贴中,通过记录日常事件并收集大量大众生产的图像,艺术家将图像作为感官材料(sense data)。他从现实中提取这些感官材料,并通过重新编辑,序列化和重新生成,将图像呈现在新的空间关系之中。基于此,探索了数字图像的潜在叙事。还对图像所建立的真实性进行了解构以及对通过相机的镜头的凝视进行了揭示。
