Souvenir is an art book that is part of my art installation. The book is for the audience to take away.
The book is part of the work "Souvenirs" that is from the experience that I was caught by surprise at the amount of trash on the streets when I first arrived in NYC. I think the streetscape with trash is a feature of the city.
I went to different parks in New York City and picked up abandoned objects that provided me with information about the city, helped me to imagine what the people of the neighborhood are like, and had an association with my personal experiences and cultural background. "Souvenirs" include a series of photos and texts as the titles and information of the images. The content of the images is artificial products, which were abandoned in New York City parks, on the artificial turf. The texts below every image include the titles that reflect my perspectives and thoughts that were inspired by this trash and the dates and places that I found these objects.
