Pretend I’m not here deals with alienation. <\/p>\n

Whether it’s culturally in sense of being an outsider on a different continent or metaphorically where as the use of media implies a certain distance from the subject.<\/p>\n

The presence of the maker always tends to influence the results, especially when you\u2019re \u201cstrange”, so while working the artists felt that their appearance was in the way.<\/p>\n

They often asked: “be as you were before” or “pretend I’m not here\u201d. At the same time the title refers to the age of visibility. All different media are competing to be “in the picture”; news, magazines, commercials, home videos, computer games, movies etc.<\/p>\n

When you walk down the streets of Xiamen you see a whole range of neon lights trying to be the most dominant.<\/p>\n

It seems that what is not visible doesn’t exist, or that we cannot visualize something that we do not understand.<\/p>\n
