The book object with a cover resembling a diary comprises booklets that the readers unfold and compile like a puzzle to see the entire picture of the wall installation. The inner pages are news produced in China, placed on one side of the paper, and the wall installation consists of news produced in the US, placed on the opposite side of the paper that forms a booklet. The placement represents the explicit dichotomy of these two political entities.
The image of the wall installation is cropped and placed on separate pages. It requires the readers to rearrange the pieces to see the entire picture, encouraging readers to be mindful of the contents they consume. The diary-book form communicates my personal experience of constantly being exposed to different “truths”. It also represents my reflection — what seems to be personal opinions and ideas could be largely influenced by information curated by the media.
The box is made of corrugated paper and the printed paper is matte double side photo paper. For the size, a single page is 11 x 17 inches unfolded, and 4 x 6 inches folded up. A full series includes a case, 18 pieces - 15 photo books, a statement book, and two lists of bibliography for a detailed reading.
