The System of Objects. Now that the abundance of objects has become an important feature of society, it is no longer people surrounding objects, but objects closely surrounding people. The System of Objects uncharacteristically removes the line of sight from people, and devotes wholeheartedly to the performance of objects. It focuses on interior spaces especially modern residential spaces. The black and white photographs seem to create a serious and solemn atmosphere.However, in this series, through the stacking and splicing of objects, it presents absurdity and abnormality: staggered beds which are surrounded by circles of surveillance cameras, toilets stacked by toilet rings which symbolize “rank”,countless light bulbs that emit dizzy lights at the same time, interesting visual presentation of the term “neat freak”, windows facing different directions haphazardly,curtains that open but only show an empty wall, an absurd indoor viewing device, layers of viaducts that couldn’t have been there criss-crossing each other and a row of shoes with only the toe exposed…Both furniture and other objects are deeply deconstructed and reconstructed, presenting a dramatic scene. Surrounded by these unusual scenes, artist Su Kui hopes to convey her thoughts on everyday objects.In addition to providing surreal, full of tension, surprising and deeply interesting images, Su Kui also constructs a striking context through the reconstruction of the modern interior spaces.In this context, the manufacture of objects is not only a technical issue. Its appearance and function are not only based on aesthetic and practical needs, but also show profound sociological principles. People project various desires on objects and satisfy themselves by giving them some concepts. The proliferation, stacking, and splicing of furniture and relative objects blur the boundary between “useful” and “useless”. These works with distinct personal style may provide a new possibility of expressing and understanding objects and seem to foreshadow a more closely connected with objects in the future.
