Utopian Visions by Tianqi Liao (Front Cover Artist)

Untitled, Inkjet Print on Paper, 52x36 cm, 2020 © TIANQI LIAO

Tianqi is interested in blending the languages of conceptual and documentary photography to position banality within a lens of scrutiny. Her work seeks to extract seemingly mundane moments to amplify them into absurdity.

Coined by Thomas More 500 years ago, the notion of "utopia" has evolved through various permutations alongside societal advancements and shifting dominant ideologies. However, its essence endures, depicting a realm devoid of impurities and brimming with abundant resources.

"Utopian Visions'' represents an interrogation of the constructs that depict societal perfection, highlighting the tenuous divide between utopian ideals and dystopian outcomes. By crafting hyperrealistic scenarios that seemingly epitomize utopia, the work reveals the paradoxes and fragilities of these imagined realities. The series prompts critical reflection on the viability of such utopian dreams, examining their ramifications on individual and societal consciousness. It also illustrates the fine line between high aspirations and the actuality of their manifestations. This polarized framework is not employed to reinforce binaries but to emphasize the need for a dialogue on the potential and peril of pursuing utopia. By presenting this polarity, the work invites viewers to ponder the complexities of an ideal society and the intricate dance between visionary hope and the pragmatic challenges it entails.
