TAO WEN

‘My work revolves around the repeated examination of my dreams, tracing back to my own living environment and the myriad of intricate events that have influenced me within this dynamic environment. and dissecting and contemplating them. It revolves around time, domain, and narrative.

I reflect on whether the repetitive spectacles of the dream world stem from the real-life spectacle of fetishist cultural products, whether they have tangible mediums to revisit these, whether the imaginative worlds I weave contain miscellaneous references to cultural products, whether the worship of inanimate objects comes from the shaping of some exported ideology. Exploring whether there is an identity between the introspective imaginary world in dreams and the real world: that is, the authenticity of internal disintegration within the image’. This is an analysis of my own culture, which is still about power, politics and order. The inhabitants of the world, creatures, cultures, products, human and non-human, are travellers; generation after generation is like "a series of intersecting trajectories".
