Exeunt of Containers

When we examine the objects that humanity treasures, museums are the soul of the process of civilization. Among the collections in museums, from the clay pots burnt in the early days of agricultural civilization to the golden coffins that held mummies in ancient Egypt, containers are a significant commonalities of them. If we were to reclassify these treasures by function, containers would be a massive category. However, the functions that containers provide can no longer satisfy the needs of the modern world, and they have retreated behind glass cases in museums. Our current era is characterized by a vast vacuum left by the exeunt of containers. 'Containers' is the metaphor I have constructed in my works from 2022 to 2023. In it, I create a series of spectacle scenes that confront the vacuum in the process of progress. For this series, I chose to work in analog photography, the images in the current images are re-shoots of the gelatin silver prints. In the analog process, I had time to spend with the images, which allowed me to be clearer about what my intentions were.
