Dis-assembling

Chen Yu Wang

While iPhones seem ubiquitous now, the user demand seems indifferent or incapable of imagining the realities of the over one-million Foxconn factory workers producing the celebrated design product. Dis-assembling presents a series of works aligning Chen Yu Wang’s personal stories and reflections surrounding factories in Asia to their strict bodily systematization. Simple questions come to mind. Do you know how the iPhone is made? Is this question ever prompted by holding an iPhone? What is the story behind ‘a phone screw’, and what metaphorical meaning does it stand for? Can the idea of capitalism be disassembled through dreaming?
