Type 3 Toy

Type 3 Toy (2010-2011)

The video series "Type 3 Toy," which is composed of four short videos, is an attempt to address a cross-cultural language of identity by an Asian artist who grew up playing with Western pop cultural icons.

For a child, Spider-Man appears as a mutant, a super hero who preserves humanity. But for a young woman, fiction becomes a dream in reality when humanity no longer seems to prevail its morals and judges according to her ethnic background. It’s a dream, an aspiration to not only admire the super hero, but to become one in order to address the varied complexities life offers to a woman living 8000 miles away from home.
