have transformed the old European genre of still lifes into ‘tablescapes’,
with tabletops teeming with activity. These tabletops contain arrangements of
disparate objects, such as body fragments, chickens, bananas, televisions, remote
controls, and computers. I evoke the uneasy coexistence between tradition and
technology, and material values and spiritual needs, in our time. By representing
the instruments of electronic communications and mass production, I signal the
increasingly impersonal quality of human relationships. However, by placing
such forms on a table—a symbol of stability, family, and celebration—I
imply the possibility for the survival of human values amid the tumult of the
contemporary world. About Serie Project Inc. |
