Statement
| Statement | Bing-Chi Wu mainly works with drawing, painting, photography, screen-printing, digital and physical collage, and installation. Her themes often stem from globalisation and neoliberal self-awareness, exploring cultural similarities and differences, international mobility, political geography, questioning existence, and so on. Combined with origami, it involves the interaction of representation and symbolism. Photography is a poetic means of freezing time, ‘folding’ is a creative channel for interacting and transforming with time, and collage is a method of connecting time. She uses digital collages to fuse photography and origami images and uses injection printing to incorporate these ideas into her work. Her research innovates collage methods in response to globalisation and neoliberal society. She aims to develop collage approaches that transcend tradition in the 21st century, perform new visual commentary, and provide an understanding of modernity in a postmodern context. |
