TZUSOO

2022

Installation

208 x 316 cm

"Pandemic Eden (2022)" is a series that encapsulates the global COVID-19 pandemic's impact on humanity through the lens of TZUSOO's unique perspective. The series explores themes of disruption, severance, healing, blood, religion, bandages, the expansion of vaccines through multiple phases (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th), self-harm, scars, and malfunctioning bodies.

The series reflects on how people persevered during the pandemic, their resilience akin to delicate balancing acts on thin needles. Despite penetrating sensitive areas and enduring hardships, they all somehow managed to persevere. The series serves as a reflective memento of the pandemic's end, a massive chapter in the history of COVID-19 and the indelible marks it leaves behind.

"Looking back, we managed to wriggle and move somehow. We teetered precariously on thin needles, allowing sensitive parts to be penetrated, yet everyone somehow managed to squirm and move forward. This is a reflection tinged with a sense of anticipating the end of the pandemic. What significant mark does this vast history of COVID-19 intend to leave behind? By meticulously translating this shocking experience into images, I fulfill my role as an artist."

This statement by TZUSOO reflects the resilient human spirit during the COVID-19 pandemic, capturing the essence of how people persevered, adapted, and continued forward in the face of immense challenges and uncertainties. The series serves as a poignant reflection on this historic period and its lasting impact on society.

It’s about how vulnerable life has been the past 6 months:

1.working as an artist in a virtual world most of the time,

2.psychological servers constantly switching,

3. having uncanny sex.
