LIVING BLING | 2022
1-channel video, 5m 30s
“Living Bling” is a video work that explores the life of goldfish as ornamental fish. The piece combines footage of goldfish in an aquarium with 3D-rendered animations of artificial aquatic plants, presented as a video collage. Over time, goldfish have undergone physical mutations through selective breeding, and their unique characteristics are valued for their aesthetic appeal, making them objects of collection. The work reflects on how goldfish live as decorative creatures and invites reflection on how human intervention has altered their nature as living creatures and changed their value.
