Valley – 18
The Valley series, through repeated emphasis on the exact industrialized capture angle and capture ratio, transforms the production and sales record of cows into an artistic vehicle. The evidentiary display presents a sense of archival solemnity, bringing the audience into confrontation with the obscured exploitation of life.
It’s a practice of turning accumulated individual pain into collective testimony. Time and matter solidify into visible form, allowing a deeper delve into the fate of the depicted subject. The earthy tone of this series is both the reality colour spectrum in the farms and the undertone of the obscured life.
