Eiffel Chong

“A Fragile Thing Called Man” is an abstract concept of life and death through the banal details, silent landscapes, and curious obsessions observed daily. This artwork uses a unique camera technique to create the toy-like miniaturisation of the city, making the infrastructure appear incredibly fragile. These techniques transform the ‘created world’ into a ‘fictional world’.

Eiffel Chong would like to bring the world to the perspective of holding a magnifying glass and peering at mortal beings as they mind their daily business, forgetting that there is always something more powerful than them. He would like to bring a realisation to human society that we are more fragile than we thought. We are not the fittest creature on earth, and there is always a force bigger than humans.
