The existence of an individual is defined by the space around the being. If a new system governs one’s
ground, the occupancy would be defined accordingly. Here, I welcome you to Flat Space, a carefully
constructed territory that questions the innate law and hierarchy of an embedded space.
This alternate universe mimics our well-perceived residency, the Earth, by including all the basic elements
in the neighborhood. However, Flat Space presents an unusual sighting of ordinary objects placed in a
common environment. One can recognize the materials yet the physical forces are carefully controlled in
this curated space, allowing this alternate universe to create its own tension and order. The residing
subject matters are also free to explore and question the innate law of physicality without any perceived
restraints.
By defying the very laws of nature, this part of the world offers a surreal yet cathartic experience to the
viewers. Although the existence of the fully constructed environment is only confirmed by a series of
photographs, the sightings are captured as a form of evidence towards a potential utopia. Here, this
platform aims to become an outlet from reality and succumbs the viewers to a visually immersive
experience. By offering both of the ordered and the boundless, the collectives are hopeful to meet new
audience to enter their part of the universe.
