Fading is inevitable, which includes all kinds of changes and things are going to death within. We certainly have relationship with things, but there is always a sense of uncertainty around us due to those changes, and this phenomenon really draws the writer to figure out the meaning of fading. Fading and the subject build great connection each other. With gradual transformations of the physical part or the meaning of fading, the features the subject gives to it have also been switching.
The thesis is to discuss the history of fading and the relationship between fading and the subject, to discover what is composed of fading, and to analyse the personal value and the meaning of fading among the individual, the society and the surrounding in the artworks. The topic has been paid attention to for years by theorists and artists. Here, the writer has summed up some specific examples related to theme of the history. For the idea of the works, the manifestation of contemporary antiques and nostalgia, the action of exchanges and flashback has been shown in the technique, media and timeline of my works. Based on the series of the works, the research contains the correlation of the subject and surroundings, societies, families and other lives.
Memory plays an important part in fading and the subject. It makes the subject be aware of the process of things slowly going to death. The function of memory is to have the subject recall the past conditions and make up a blueprint of the potential future. Through the influence, the subject develops some feelings of anxiety and helplessness. To avoid the subject plunging into the vortex of everlasting fading, flashback and metamemory would be the solution, which offers room for memory to think twice. Creating new meanings in memory, because there are metamemories, we are looking forward to recognizing another new fading.
