My Promise for Your Happiness No.8 mixed media Photograph on canvas 200 x 120 cm 2012
In "Promise" series, Lin Jingjing would like to provoking people to think about the paradoxical reality and the virtual illusion that we all experience every day, as well as the sense of geographical belonging and the new generation of 'mental orphans'. Her purpose is to doubt promises and their persistence, arguing their importance in today's society and how we all must find the possible in the impossible through skepticism.
Lin Jingjing’s oeuvre is exemplified by these types of mixed media works; embroidered colourful cotton threads that impose geometric patterns over reproduced monochromatic photographs of life in China. Careful stitches conceal segments of the composition, such as the face or shadow of a human figure, seeking to address issues of homogenization and the individual morphing into a component of the economic machine.
