Dystopia- people’s back photos book

Dystopia

                            –不爱乌托邦 Reject utopia

Date/3.5.2019

When I live on Instagram, I felt that I was totally different people than what I want because of all the interception of people's online utopia life. I felt lost and jealous because many people seem birth with the gift and live in a perfect life with the best things in this world. So, when I compare myself to those people, I was depressed because I tried hard in my life but nothing was better than before. However, I also started thinking about what's behind those perfect lives. I started thinking about if everyone lives as that kind of perfect lives, what sadness and darkness are going to. The answer is all negative things go to the people who really can stand it or have to face it. For example, if parents only want to beautiful lives feeling, then, children will feel lonely and suffer when they face their dark side of their lives. However, I think the really happy person is actually the child because he will meet true friends and lovers who really support when he/she suffers alone. And the perfect utopia life actually empty. So, I want to encourage people to believe, love, and support when they suffer and their families and friends suffer. Don't sleep in the fake online or social media utopia lives anymore.

Involved all photos I took from the back of people all over the world while I was traveling around, also my friends’ and lover’s back when I spent time with them. 

How to define real lives? If people don’t suffer in utopia, they aren’t really together. The most beautiful things always exist in a world with the ugliest things together. The way we really live is the way we really suffer, support, and be loved. I want to be in a place where people really company with each other, even if it is a dystopia, and why not?

Process

Develop Event

I left many extra pieces in the different corner of New York City which I printed when I did a test of this zine, and I wrote one sentence on every single piece. The reason for this event is to share my dystopia world all over New York and engaged people who are lost in this big city.

There is some feedback from people who grab my pieces.
