James Turrell is an American artist whose primary working materials are light, space and perception. In order to see the whole process of his works audience may spend a lond time to wait. So his work is meant to be taken in slowly, quietly, and over time, challenging audiences to see themselves seeing. In my view, his work is also a challenge and silent protest to the over-speeding society development. skyspace / installation by James Turrell
Society development, especially technology progress has brought gigantic changes to our life. It does offer quicker, easier and more efficient communication methods. But meantime, it also brings problems like global flows of business, fast-food life style, mass and speedy information communication which may blind our senses, disconnect us from each other and keep good balance of our life. During my MA study in CCA I focused on the negative effects of communication brought by such a development. And I want to introduce the concept of slow, which is a kind of green life style, rather than low efficiency or against development. I hope my research and works can be helpful to deliver this healthy life concept among people especially who live under pressure of fast paced modern life.
