NARRATOR:
In this work, thousands of everyday objects are squeezed into a frame to mimic a celestial landscape.
Over a period of twelve years, artist Hong Hao made a habit of saving the things he consumed every day. He picked out bits and pieces of the items that looked trivial and produced monotonous images by placing the items directly on a flatbed scanner and scanning the bottoms of them one by one. The results are images showing the true details of items like bottle caps, empty cans, and other objects, making the work much more objective than conventional photography. Hong Hao then organised the images according to the colours and shapes of the scanned items to create a huge photographic collage.
This work is a record of the artist’s consumption behaviour and living conditions as much as it’s an exhibit of the impact of consumerism. The society keeps on changing, and every day we find more and more new products replacing the old ones in the consumer market. While globalisation has blurred boundaries between nations, allowing people living in different parts of the world to easily access similar or even the exact same products, the idea of materialism has also spread across the globe, drowning us in insatiable desires to buy more and more.
As you look at the objects in the image again, how might it make you reflect on your relationship with objects you own?
