Theme: Empirical Experience
Title: Transition
This painting is painted with both consciousness and unconsciousness mind. Coming to the contemporary era, modern theories of consciousness is more developed. It doesn't mean the concepts about consciousness and unconsciousness in the past are wrong. More importantly, we started to rethink about the consciousness or unconsciousness is not only a single entity. The existing of consciousness and unconsciousness are interdependent but not intrinsically antagonistic.
In this project, I included somebody in my artistic practices. I tried to transfer my soul to somebody in an artistic way. I dominated somebody's hands to paint what I expected. The brushstrokes on canvas can tell. I am in the process of consciousness in unconsciousness while "somebody" was experiencing the unconsciousness in consciousness as "somebody" tried to get rid of controlling in my hands, but indeed "somebody" can not forgive his unwanted reaction. "Somebody" was controlling the intensity and strength of holding brushes, the brushes direction, the amount of paints etc.
Sometime, if we’re supposed to take the fact that we can’t observe something as evidence that it actually exists, then that thing is outside the realm of science. So why artistic practice of conceptual and process art exists? It may be an alternative way to let people feel and witness the moment of the cooperation between the conscious and unconscious mind in an artistic way.
