The project begins with collecting a large number of mainstream media news, social media news, articles from blogs, sensational stories, hearsay, rumors and refutations on the internet over a period of half-year. The collected items will then be collaged into a wallpaper with non-repetitive patterns, retaining their original graphic forms. The wallpaper covers the walls of all the rooms, aisles, every corner of the foyer in the apartment.
For those of us virtually controlled by the mobile phone and the internet, what have we experienced in the past six months? Reality is far more powerful, exciting, complex, bewitching and absurd than art. These realistic collages can serve simultaneously as a decorative wall for the interior of this specific apartment and a background wall that is worth the time of the viewers to read and discuss.
