Abstract
In this digital age, artworks can be intangible. We watch those digital works on screen but cannot touch them. Our production process and output can be highly separated from our social reality.
Responding to this phenomenon, I drew ten pictures on water color papers then installed them into a small fable story book. Those pictures were tangible and tactile, I could feel their weight and texture when I was flipping them. Especially one picture was burned by fire, I even could smell that charred odor. Those experiences make this montage more than just a work of digital moving-image.
Someone will say this montage is just my imagination. However this small story book will continue to exist in our reality, whether as a fable, or as a tangible record.
