EVELYN//RESEARCH-HITO STEYERL: 'BEING INVISIBLE CAN BE DEADLY'

Another artist work might be inspirative, Hito Steyerl – 'Being Invisible Can Be Deadly' | TateShots. I like interactive art, therefore, I found Styuerl's documentary video art is very interesting to look at. My previous research was Simons and Chabris's science experiment (1999), 'The invisible Gorilla' is a selective attention test. Actually, I think they share common that the texts and instructions in two videos and the artist and scientists think and look at things from different perspectives. I would like to use these ideas in my work, to make it experimental and interactive.

Time, dreams and natural forms are the main subjects of my art. I work with multimedia, painting and video are the most common techniques. Although I transferred from a painter to a video artist, painting is still an important element of my work. My videos are combinations of paintings, photography, and films. Influenced by animation, I like flat colours and a clean outline. Also, I edit images to be brighter which gives a visual sparseness and vibrant luminosity. My art is the shadow of myself. They show my background, experience, personality, and emotions. My ethnicity is Chinese and my family belief is Buddhism; I studied at a Christian college in Hong Kong. In 2017, I came to the UK to study art. The conflict between western and eastern cultures become an inspiration in my art career. Moreover, I like travelling. I always bring my camera and sketchbook with me to create art diaries.
