Artist Statement:
For this performance I would like to use my body (hair) as a brush and draw with black ink on white square paper. Here i m making reference to the work Black Square of Malevich ("zero point of painting"). In my adaptation of meaning it is the zero point of the female asian body.
Here I like to practice performance as a physical manifestation to move away from the stage to construct the identity of the body.I'm interested in changing observation by using the body with all significance to send information.
I was alway thinking of art in connection with paintings and I like the process of it.
During my approach to performance art I was including the media video that I was working with. To tell stories with moving images.
With performance I can combine, think about all the media, painting, sound, sculpture and moving image at the same time.
I was always critical about using others' bodies to perform for me, so I used my body to perform. My artworks were read by the critics as migration art, asian art, autobiographical.
This performance is just to clarify that the body of a performance can read as a tool for the process of an artwork.
