Ching Ching Cheng ha realizzato queste sculture con vecchie mappe e vecchi giornali di viaggio, e si è appunto ispirato ai viaggi, perchè le sue sculture di cartone rappresentano vecchie macchine fotografiche.
Cheng’s works register the traces that memory and desire leave on objects as they are transformed and translated by time and movement across cultures. Cheng has a deep fascination with the way certain mechanical objects act as a continuation of personal identity and of the body. She sees the human form, as she puts it, “as an incredible machine.” In addition to her watercolor engine series, this theme is present in a series of small-scale sculptures Cheng has made of vintage cameras. These cameras are each constructed with meticulous care, using found books and maps.
