Yi-Hsin Tzeng about her magazine project (2009-): “They are too beautiful to be believed; they are too perfect to be trusted. They are so affected that I want to make fun of them. No matter how much luxurious clothing we put on, we still cannot hide our true faces.” Available from this website. Compare to Poster Boys’ billboard modifications .

“Eine repräsentative Sammlung von Alltagsgegenständen, die thematisch gruppiert und von einem erhöhten Steg sichtbar sind. Nach ihrem Benutzerzusammenhang sortiert, werden die Dinge zu einer Art Meer ausgelegt. Dadurch entsteht eine andere Sicht auf die uns scheinbar vertrauten Gegenstände. Zusätzlich wecken sie in jedem andere Geschichten.” Karsten Bott.
