Black Book installation uses analog film projectors controlled via microprocessor for a large-screen viewing experience of the original artist’s book. Black Book joins two distinct threads of disparate cultures and histories — Confucian virtues and modern black humour — inquiring into contemporary ideologies such as patriarchy, political coercion, and technological determinism. The artist’s book of the same title was published by Information Office in 2018.
