LEE Yung-Chih

The artist Lee Yung-Chih transplanted the texture of the back paint that is about peel off like Ganoderma lucidum to create a fictional Zhishan stone in a cheap hands-on way. Superficially, it is a reponse to the long-last history behind Zhishan and Zhishanyan. In fact, it is still some kind of the daily journey that artist is used to:walking in the streets, imagining and showing off the wastes that no one cares about.

As a common scene of stone landscaping in Taiwan, The artist laid Zhishan stones at the corner of the exhibit room or placed them by the street as stones that would bring luck. In the meanwhile, he 3D printed the stones, making animation through the “Image Texture” effect to create fake photography about the mountains on the island. In addition, it’s like the seemingly genuine display of meteorites that show strata with veins. The description cards that incorporate literacy, geological description, technical skills, and interactive features look like promo pictures, commercial videos, or some kind of “understandable” forms mixed in this fascinating, lightheaded, and hypnotizing flow.
