Yam Lau - A World is a Model of the World

Thursday, October 16, 2008 to Tuesday, November 18, 2008

In these recent works, representational space is reconstituted within the order of the virtual. For example, in Room: An Extension real time video footage of my daily routine is composed according to the architectural schema of my room in virtual space. This virtual expression of my room allows my actions to be viewed from multiple angles simultaneously. Private action becomes public performance. The real time/space of the video is enfolded with a different spatial-temporality in virtual space. In this sense, Room: An Extension is an attempt to complicate different forms of spatial-temporal expressions.
