Blueprint #8

Whether it be tubes of toothpaste, cosmetics, packets of cigarettes or paper cups, I have unfolded these packages flat so that I could use them as floor plans for fictional buildings. Using the Tetrapack intaglio printing technique, I was able to capture the imprint of these cardboard packages in pictorial form in their original size. Inspired by singular architectonic fragments observed in Tainan, the new forms that emerge here may evoke the metal structures found on Taiwanese rooftops, the cages surrounding windows, or even glass architecture.

The method of spatial representation is isometric projection, a type of technical drawing used in architecture to emphasise the high-angle view, thereby accentuating verticality. The colour blue pays homage to the blue originally used for architectural plans.
