Photography, 100x100cm, editions of 10, C-print, 2007
Today's fashion and cosmetology indicate a mentality of treating body
as an object, as an effective tool pursuing social status. Yu
Hang's message is very much relevant today, her works not
only captures fantasized imagination from traditional literature,
but also illusions of cosplay game in a modern girls' dormitory. By
these works, artist Yu Hang explores how female perceive
their bodies in a male-dominated social mentality. She also tries
to construct a cultural and mental map, examining the fact that
traditionary culture imprints our obsession and fantasy on the female
body.
