I used the street view mode of Google Maps to come to a ski resort in Utah City, USA. A broken red flag appeared in the sky, which was charming and thought-provoking. So I composed the picture on the computer screen and took a screenshot; and used a digital camera to re-photograph the image of the interrupted flag on the computer screen; then I sketched the negative effect of the image on the page of the novel 1984; then used 8×10. Inch black and white negatives were used to reproduce the negative effect of the painting to obtain a positive negative; finally the negative was imaged on photographic paper using platinum technology.During the exhibition, Google Street View screenshots, remakes of computer screen Street View photos, sketch paintings, 8×10 black and white negatives and platinum craft photos were displayed side by side.
