Smile For An Hour
HD installation, 60 min.
one channel, colour, stereo. 2016
To reflect the patriarchal society in China, I created a communist male outfit embedded with a fake Louis Vuitton logo patterned fabric. While documenting an hour long video of myself smiling in front of a camera in Vasquez Rocks National Park where numerous western cowboy movies were shot in the past. I want to make something absurd in order to question reality: which is more real, the landscape, which looks like a green screen or the person smiling?
