Digitally embroidered organza shoe
2015
Concept:
I am interested in reclaiming tropes of techno-orientalism and its tendency to eroticize and inflate asian bodies with a technologically advanced future. The embroidered text is a piece of original creative writing 'Peach Blossom Shangri-la 2.0' that is a revision of the ancient chinese political text Peach Blossom Shangri-la. The revision 'updates' the original text to imagine a speculative culturally fluid space.
