The artist isolates himself from the world by blanking out the TV screen in every single piece. When the screen displays the most primitive “white light,” the areas lit by the screen echo its significance in the setting. We are so used to allowing our lives to be filled with shifting images on the TV screen; even as we sit in a lonely and quiet place, we yield control of our consciousness to the abstract space on the screen, which in turn replaces reality. “These days, television screens occupy many settings in various forms. They not only serve as the source for video and entertainment, but have also replaced the traditional roles of the fireplace in the living room, or the stained glass windows in the grand cathedrals of bygone days.” Sheu Jer-Yu imagines himself observing objects and spaces through a TV screen, the consciousness of the external world streaming into his line of sight like the sun’s rays through a window, lighting up an obscure interior.
