Introduction to the American Pavilion: Products: Works-4
Author: Suzanne Wolfer
Introduction to the works: In my works, I use familiar objects and symbols to explore common values ​​and associations, to add to the own traditional cultural characteristics. Because many of the objects are popular and concrete, rather than generally framed within the confines of art, visitors want to explore the objects themselves and their contextual content. In an unfamiliar range, playing with familiar objects still leads to more basic questions like "What on earth is this?" The object is a bait that attracts the viewer, through cognition and feeling in the process of understanding, and then leads him to the work. However, the initial awareness quickly disappears, and contradictory elements appear. Rather than being a popular, kitsch work, the object becomes a satire of our understanding and willingness to perceive and be convinced in the process of understanding and familiarity. This juxtaposition, like the knowable and the unknown, the inner and the outer, even the sublime and the mundane, is the fundamental starting point of my work. Starting from the heart of all these, I am interested in contradictory opposites, that is, when one does not exist and the other One will also disappear. If there is no no, then there is no yes.
