YaYa Chou...



YaYa Chou’s works combine humor and commentary on modern lifestyles…

YaYa Chou born and raised in Taiwan, YaYa Chou moved to Los Angeles in 1997 to study Experimental Animation.

“Color Based” is a sculpture installation project designed to emphasize the effects of artificial food coloring and flavors on children.Glass bottles filled with Pepto Bismol form a line to resemble industrial conveyor belt; while the circus tent signifies the filling machine which fills children with colorful foods/pharmaceuticals. I chose Pepto Bismol because the consistency and color reminds me of pigment in acrylic paint instead of edible items, also pink is a unique color that evokes certain emotional response.The circus tent is used here as a symbol of the hyperactivities children display after ingesting artificial food ingredients (food coloring, flavors, saccharin, salicylate… etc.).
