Statement
If people don't write down their dreams, they usually forget them when
their bodies sleep. I have started a timeless dream diary by writing
and drawing my dreams whenever I wake up from them.
I sewed my dreams on the s which are used for sleeping. By
embroidering text and imagery on these s, I try to reveal what was hidden by them.
Dream Platform:
Another sheet was installed for the visitors. Dreams are drawn,
sewn or written on the sheet by the visitors.
ALBUM OF THE FAMILY , 2005
Photographs (72)
Album
Im interested in people who re stranger themselves from the society. Our social and sexual identities re taught us by the society . I use the puppets to describe these roles. Seeing the puppets re like looking in the mirror: people can see themselves while looking at them.
The ‘Album of the Family’ is at first sight a traditional one. But we look closer, we realize that we can notdistinguish the mother from tje father or the male from the female. Roles re not defined.
