Memes exist as low-quality images, they are constantly being compressed, copied and remixed as they are distributed. Although to some extent they are bad, the fantastic mix of visuals and content they provide, and their own flexibility allow them to circulate quickly and almost frantically between 'collectives' with similar preferences or aesthetics.

This project uses a similar creative process to the memes system, which involves appropriation, creation, re-editing and ownership, and a narrative based on a completely different context to the original images. I photographed some warning signs on various streets in London, using them as a backdrop for the images and as a venue for the story. I have tried to create more unusual and funny stories based on the text on the signs, including imagining future forms of biological existence and social relations, the satire of certain social phenomena, and some spoofs which just mean to produce waste. All the collage materials, except for the background photos, are taken from the internet.

The story revolves around the lives of aliens coming to Earth, piecing together a series of scenarios of how they might adapt to live in a predominantly human habitat and supervise and discipline humans from a non-human point of view.

I turned these photographs taken into black and white, and then highlighted these warning signs as captions of memes. The warning signs are everywhere in people's daily life, so the creation is based on the audience's initial interpretation of these warning signs. These brief words act as the language that regulates the human social order, giving the story constrictions and the opportunities to be subverted.
