A dazzling costly consumption place. Standing at one of the stairs of the escalator or in the elevator, I always feel like a sacrificial lamb on a delivery belt, completely powerless but at the same time full of desires to buy. These desires come from the human desire to pursue perfection. The work is inspired by this thought. The intervention of behaviors and images creates changes in a place. Behind the intention to criticize, there is an impulse and most importantly a response that does not know how to response. ” Department Store” starts with a normal scene but as the lens begins to rise the moves faster, so fast that all the commodities seem blurred. After reaching the fastest point, the lens starts to drop, a model, an empty body appears. This model changes its style and clothes at every different floor. This ugly model does not have a nice body. In this dazzling background but with dim lights, this model looks a bit silly. Behind this behavior, we can only apply some ointment, hoping to provide some comforts.
