Ornaments of Property

2015/2018, CD/DVD computer drives, various dimensions
Ornaments of Property is a modular sculpture that can be reinstalled based on existing built structures or new arrangements depending on the exhibition space. It can be shown together with the 16mm film loop of the same title. Constructed from hundreds of collected DVD/CD computer drives used as unitary bricks, the mural fragments form mixed ornamental languages—stripped of original cultural/national genealogy through time, space, and artistic re-interpretation. In modern ruins, discarded devices appear as archaeological artifacts—fossil-like remainders encountered in museums or excavation sites. Emptied containers reveal how memories contain and are contained. Digital archiving technology becomes cultural artifact where fact and fiction merge into new architectures.
