EXHIBITION DOCUMENTATION
FEEDBACK
Tommy Jin:
The gallery provide me with a relatively new perspective in terms of humans relationship with their surrounding phenomena and room for a graphic critique towards anthropomorphism. The bizarre and unique set-up is able to fully capture Olivia's arguments and beliefs. The gallery is both an enjoyment visually, and prospectively.
Xiaobo An:
I was particularly impressed by this interactive project, where the form and visual presentation perfectly align with the core theme of life and human supremacy. The interaction between viewers and the "potted plants" brilliantly encapsulates the central question: can we truly hear the voices of other forms of life?
