We are surrounded by a constant influx of images, ranging from static to dynamic, two-dimensional to three-dimensional. Our environment feels inundated, almost suffocating, with their omnipresence. These images seem to be appearing everywhere, in every medium, occupying and expanding to all surfaces and spaces. Consciously and unconsciously absorbed by our minds, they linger as phantom imagery, prompting me to wonder: why are we so attracted to them, and what influence do they inflict upon us?
Diffused Surface is a multi-channel video installation that serves as a secondary reflection on the landscape of images surrounding us, which concurrently shapes our perception. Inserting photos taken in the physical world into the virtual space, and juxtaposing elements of nature with man-made structures, it constructs a staged spectacle of composite memory.
