The tyranny of consciousness
2017
Charles Atlas
The first time I saw this work was at the Venice Biennale 2017
There were already a lot of people have watched it
By just standing in front of the giant screens, it was good to observe the other audiences who's
in observing the works I’ve been visiting.

The Tyranny has triggered my art in layers of dimension.
whether by its theme, way to curate, or the ideology inside.
Firstly my consequential judgement of this work was purely by its appearances.
I was simply attracted by sunsets, and starting to collect the setting sun by using my iPhone. And then the photography projects " The sunset observer" has begun.
But I know something like this is not simple,it comes to me of the idea of how an artist is able to curate artworks by the right scale.
It requires the acknowledge of curation and the themes of installations in between, for example, Charles Atlas brings audiences together in front of this work and offering people the experiences to adore his work, for aesthetic sake.
My judgments of this is a work-related to the theme of climate change, there was a digital timer settled at the right side of the pavilion.
But it wasn't until the processing of the sunset had finished, surprisingly to see Lady Bunny's cabaret. I had to say that her performance was wonderful and the songs were good.
The contrast of natural elements and digital languages in between is absolutely thoughtful, in the way of lifted both artworks and its observer into another level of consciousness.
Because of the identity of her is drag Queen. Two videos of great
visual splendour and sophisticated editing in which images of
natural and artificial beauty are together.
After looked up I realized that is something of austerity and frustration, sexuality and class in between.
What's more , the biggest interest with her speaking was deeply but performed very pop and modern style,it's seemed like a
the modified stage and there is something very urgent to
announce. Maybe also the group of people like her, Lady Bunny reveals the politics after her growing up how she gets the "speaker" to singing out loud, and then talks about a world
with peace and war, sunrise and sunset, life and death, our planet and us, gread people and the confusing, complex times that we're living in.
In front of the artwork, many people were watching the sunset
