Milktea Scandal

Milk tea has become a popular product, at leas in Asia. I want to convey a point through milk tea–Human beings should not demonize food additives excessively. In China, there is an interesting video type. It is usually popular among middle-aged and elderly people in China in the way of video editing without thinking and matching oreven outdated. The content of these videos is generally ridiculous and unbelievable rumors. Most of them are about food additives. For example, these ridiculous rumors even say that eggs are artificial made of rubber, and so on. These unbelievable rumors spread among middle-aged and elderly people and were used as a lesson to warn their children. This has also become a significant distress for young Chinese people.

Slime, milk tea, iron nails, and other materials are the materials of this contradictory installation.I placed this installation in the studio for shooting and recorded it using time-lapse photography. The photo studio's collage shows that various unprofessional media directly reported the situation without corroboration and added gusto,just for exposureand benefit. No one consider the impact of transmission at all.

As the camera moved, the camera is focused on the detail of the milk tea, and I used the non-dairy creamer used in some milk tea as a key element. The purpose is to show everyone that an usual food additive is ridiculously demonized into nails in the milk tea.
