About
An immersive virtual exhibition produced by Harvard CAMLab, Fire Dream explores the idea of an optical illusion and portrays the material-migration process in Zhao Meng’s photographic ceramic art. It queries the presumed primacy of human agency, alluding to a simultaneous convergence and inversion of personhood and objecthood.
This five-episode drama thrusts an array of natural elements into the spotlight and showcases the transformative process they undergo on screen. Their metamorphosis unveils the tension between materiality and virtuality, which further amplifies recurring themes in the making of biomorphic ceramic art: mystery, tension, destruction, transformation, and cyclic resolution.
