Her video and films explore the dialectical tension between documentary reality and fiction, examining the complex and mysterious dimension of subjective experience in different social and political contexts. The artist shoots the 'real life' scenes in a documentary way, meanwhile the privacy and invisible dimension of 'real life' could be revealed by her fictional or 'take' figures. In this way, she displays a paradoxical overlap of documentary and fiction-the figures are as if 'performing themselves', as J·Bentham puts it, they are the images of themselves. Her recent practice reveals the fictional and illusory aspects of social reality, allowing the audience to experience reality as pure fiction.
