Butterfly

This ironic collage connects aria from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, a concert of American musician Laurie Anderson, and the symbol of butterfly. The conceptual work juxtaposes classic art and contemporary avant-garde, the East and the West, nature and civilization, and unites these contrasting themes in a diverse and poetic whole using visual effects.  “I want to shape the TV screen canvas as precisely as Leonardo, as freely as Picasso, as colorfully as Renoir, as profoundly as Mondrian, as violently as Pollock and as lyrically as Jasper Johns.” J.
