Beauty always promises, but never gives. –By Simon Weil
In “My Magazines Project,” the artist collects large amounts of international commercial images from her daily visual environment. Tzeng defaces selected images with playful mark-making, and then republish the magazines again every two months. The artist remarks:
“They are too beautiful to be believed; they are too perfect to be trusted.
They are so affected that I want to make fun of them.
No matter how much luxurious clothing we put on, we still cannot hide our true faces.
After excavating their true parts beneath the flesh, we will reconstruct another pretty and messy paradise.”
The action of altering and appropriating not only establishes her regurgitated aesthetics but also proclaims a regained control of the image. In this show, viewers can appreciate the original pages and final transformed product simultaneously.
