Beijing museum opens 'supermarket' of images

All the walls and ceiling of the museum's first hall and even the receptionist desk next to it are covered by images. So thickly arranged are the images that when viewed from afar, they seem like numerous pixels trying to form a larger picture.

Titled Since You Were Born, the giant installation is made of all the images accumulated in the cache memory of artist Evan Roth's computer ever since his second daughter's birth in 2019.

"I feel dizzy and even a bit suffocated," said Yu Bin, a visitor to the show's opening on Friday. "It's a bit shocking to see the photos accumulated by a person in less than three years should take up so much space."
