Since the end of the martial law in Taiwan, the freedom of the press has been released to the populace. All kinds of media have been rising and developing. People now seem to be living in a maze, which is surrounded by the masses of the repeated information, and unable to escape from it. Therefore, the content of this work is a presentation of “Media” itself and the subjects come along with it, which are “Politics”, “Pornography” and “Violence.” To construct the 3D illusion, the Escher’s work, “House of stairs”, is taken here as the reference of the form of this work. This “Media Illusion” series was presented in the way of installation via televisions set.
At the beginning of this thesis, the principle of illusion, the work of Escher “Impossible buildings” and other related works will be discussed. Moreover, the phenomena of the politics, pornography and violence get involved in the media of Taiwan is also a major discuss. Finally, it will focus on the artist concepts, which include the elements and the scene of illusion, the installation space and the techniques. All present in the series: “Media”, “Politics”, “Pornography” and “Violence.” I expect this creative work could express my thoughts to the media of Taiwan.
