I decided
to change my idea of making an album because I think to be displayed in an exhibition,
a flat surface work cannot attract viewers
much and I just came up a new idea of a small installation.
As I have
searched about the definitions of ANALOGUE, I will still choose the most common
one of it: something that is analogous or similar to something else.
I will
put a round glass tank which is full of soil in the box. Inside the
soil, I will bury some historical or typical things in the world, which can be
seen a little outside of the tank. And a paper man is standing on the soli, looking
at the “sky”, which is looking at the viewers too.
So the
box can be seen as a world itself which is an analogue of the world we are
living in. When the paper man in the tank looking at us, it just like sometimes
we may look at the sky and think about what the outer space would be.
I believe that we are not the only intelligent life in the space and
there may be infinite “boxes” in the world. I just create one by myself,
to suggest the viewers the infinite possibilities of the other world may
just around us. We will never be the only one.
I have searched a lot about the installation art work, but I didn`t find
one that`s similar to mine. I found that most of them are far more abstract
than mine, and I wondered that if it means my work was too obvious for art.
And I found some works whose theme is also about the world.

This one uses map to show the vast land of our earth. While I use the more detailed things such as soil, grass or something else.

And this one also use clutter
to express the theme.
