In a fleeting moment among a boundless time lies fragments of an object. By gazing into the fragment, the look of the lost can be recollected from its scent, texture, or indentation etc. Hence, a fragment contains the whole, and anything in the past, present, or even the future is no longer an individual. Millesimal scenary magnifies the traces of objects through observing various daily objects in microcosm, and use them as clues to further speculate what it used to be and what caused the transformation. Macroscopic imageries are extracted from microscopic landscapes. “Speculation” starts the flow of time; it thus extends events, and interlaces the misplacements of consciousness, unconsciousness, intuition, and non-intuition to form a possible perceptual landscape.
The thesis first explores the imperceptible connotations buried in the art works, including the relationships between objects and people, the empathy in aesthetics experiences, and the traces of narratives. Next, Chapter 3 goes back to exploring the visual forms and techniques in painting, including the scale of viewing, the various correlations between art and simulation as well as postmodernism, and the development and transformation of panel painting. The author puts up boundless sceneries with characteristics such as assorted wrinkling textures and the residual temperature of items.
