#ART: Zhang Xiangxi Turns Hollowed TV Sets Into Miniature Worlds
Re-purposing the empty frames of discarded televisions, artist Zhang Xiangxi creates meticulously crafted dioramas inspired by “real life” in present day China.
Some of the miniatures closely resemble Zhang’s own personal living experiences such as his old workspace in Guangzhou, the workers’ dormitory he once lived in and his parent’s sitting room. More after the jump:
The website worth1000 has exhibited some weird photographs of celebrities re-imagined as figures in famed renaissance paintings.
Artist’s statement:
“The world seems to me increasingly incomprehensible, and there are times when I feel there isn’t anything that I know for certain. For me, making photographs (or painting, or whatever) is necessary to translate the unintelligible reality of being into a more coherent form. Or at least to illustrate my best guesses. There is vastly more nothing in the universe than something, and I try to create images that recognize the grace by which anything at all exists.”
