Clarice was once “emptied by plagues.”
In Eusapia, “the inhabitants have constructed an identical copy of their city, underground.”
“Suspended in the heavens, there exists another Beersheba.”
This group of work is about imagination and experimentation of social promotion. Based on inspirations that came from several quotes, I created compelling visual representation through digital photo manipulation. I chose three cities ― Clarice, Eusapia and Beersheba ― from Chapter 7 of the novel “Invisible Cities” written by Italian writer Italo Calvino.
I let my imagination elaborate on one characteristic of that specific city. My interpretation was that all three quotes were about life and death. In the sky above Clarice, there is the Satan’s eye. The red smoke in Eusapia came from the flames in hell. And in Beersheba, you walk into the mist.
這組作品是關於想象力和社會傳播的實驗，訓練自己依據幾句話或創意的靈感，做出具有影響力的視覺表達。我選擇了Italo Calvino的小說《隱形城市》第七章裡的三座城市： Clarice, Eusapia and Beersheba。
我用想象力描繪了每個城市的一個特點。我的理解是這三句節選都有關生命與死亡。Clarice上空是撒旦的眼睛。Eusapia的紅煙來自地獄的火焰。在Beersheba，你走入迷霧。
