Abstract

This body of work 家(Jia) explores the domestic violence that is prevalent in the typical Chinese family and the complex family relationship that are a result of this trauma. 家 is a multimedia site-specific installation comprises of video, sculpture, collage and photographic images. Traumatic memories, the beautifully unbearable experiences, have inspired this artwork from both a personal and cultural perspective. In this work I am examining, and displaying for the audience, the effects of abuse and the trauma that is a result, how it is manifested, and how it transforms an individual and a family’s identity.
