concept
In my pigeon project, I want to investigate the oriental elements in London cityscape from the Eastern perspective. By taking myself as a foreigner, physically collecting pictures in oriental based places such as New Malden, Tottenham court road area, China Town, Colindale and other similar areas in central London. Then virtually collecting the news and archives toward those places from English input research.
There are three elements in this work—newspaper collaged pigeon, geopolitical video on a sculpture made by found polystyrene, site-specific letter installation. They stand at different perspectives respectively when one lives in a foreign country--a media to commute with others, cityscape created by geopolitical impact and the image of a specific community made from social media.
I never heard of Josenjok people until doing this project. While researching them, I have visited many oriental places in London. I have been amazed by many communities who earn their livings by doing a business or opening a restaurant making home food without losing their tradition. I think this nostalgic feeling causes more impacts when it merges to different foreign communities as a counter to the residents. And in my proposal, it changes the city itself too. Lastly, by doing this work, I want to open a dialogue between virtual data and reality, proposing a way to predict future cityscape and rethink the role of citizens from different social groups.
概念
此計劃研究倫敦城市景觀中如New Malden、Tottenham Court road、中國城、Colindale等具有東方特色的區域，以藝術家本身的亞洲背景觀點去蒐集材料，包括田野調查、線上蒐集街景照片及文獻檔案，
作品共有三個元素，一個用報紙碎屑堆積而成的鴿子雕塑以及許多散佈於展場的報紙剪貼文字、一個有大倫敦地圖形狀的拾獲保麗龍及放在此拾獲物上有關地理政治的影片。每個元素扮演著外地人在異鄉生活的不同面向─一個可以傳播的媒介、社群網路上形容某族群的印象及ㄧ被地理政治影響的城市景觀。
因爲身份敏感問題，朝鮮族是在倫敦城市中鮮少被人談及的少數族群，當深入去瞭解及認識他們的生活時，我被想要保留自有文化和努力在異地生活的精神所感動，我認為不同族群在異地生活方式雖不盡相同，但這些情緒一被堆積起來是很相像並有感染力的。我希望由這個作品開啟一個由外地族群繪製的城市景觀，並延伸探討社群網路的資料與現實生活的關聯，進而想像未來城市景與反思居民的在城市裡的自我認同角色。
