Dwelling in Perennial Dreams is an interactive installation. This work invites the audience to imagine caring for orphaned babies in Thailand. Several cradles, each holding two TV monitors placed screen side up, play videos of the upper and lower part of a baby sleeping.

“Thanks to science and new inventions in technology, I have chosen mechanics and video-recording devices as tools to reflect e-society, plus such mediums as feeling, listening, smelling and virtual pictures to produce interaction between viewers and my works. This enables viewers to break through purely static visual limitation and further experience what the artist intends to express in his works in an all round way. Personal participation can better stimulate the imagination of viewers.”
