Most people think that a life without mistakes or failure is a f
flawless life. It is because they think that their lives would fall into d
despair with a single mistake. However, all lives are made of m
mistakes and failures which are unnoticeable to others. This is r
relatable to how electronic parts that look flawless show rough and b
bumpy surface when magnified.
Small-sized chips that are 1.6mm ~ 4mm long are used as Object. E
Each of them has a unique function in an electronic device, but they l
look trivial and unimportant alone. This is similar to how individuals a
are easily overlooked and underestimated despite each of them has d
different goals and unique roles in society.
The series “Zero Defect Society” is a work expressing the artist’s e
everyday realization: The essence of life consists of mistakes and f
failures. And this series use industrial camera, lenses, illumination a
and image piecing together software.
