Who is talking about heroes? The images of this work are sampled from American war hero Robort O'neil, Mujahideen Bin Laden, and the last Soviet astronaut Sergey, who have significant influence in a certain field of their respective nationalities, beliefs, and cultures. The collage of images and animations, the mixed scenes of virtual and reality are reproduced by a computer in an alchemy-style method, presenting the same beauty and surreal vision. High-definition rendered realistic computer modeling images make it impossible for viewers to distinguish the existence and reliability of human objects. The virtual “hero” images confuse and dispel the super-real hero identity, thus questioning the power discourse of the Cold War to the post-globalization era.
