I picked up a lot of abandoned objects when I was doing residency at Zuoying, including two boxes of naked women and warships film slides that inspired this work. They are broken, destroyed and even twisted because soaking in water. These unexpected damages make the images become very charming. Starting form subconscious and dreams, I follow the clues that lead to abandoned army base, and let the broken images reborn by overlapping them with the illusionary sea.
To install this work I chose putting out the projection collages directly with different sources, letting two kinds of media images( from digital projectors and traditional slide projector) merge together. Just like the name of the work "The Cave," there's a light from the machine that points out a world of fantasy, as If the audience is led by three light beams in a dark cave, and enter the trance realm that is full of ambiguous ghost images.
