Self-Portrait 2

The front of the four-panel folding screen is covered with black foil, while military slogans are repeatedly written across the reverse. Through repetition, the phrases gradually lose their communicative function and become a density of institution, time, and labour.

The work emerges from the artist's fifteen years of military experience. The folding screen both conceals and divides, while its articulated structure retains the relationship between body, language, and institution.
