欢岛
Joy Island is an emerging young fashion photographer based in Beijing, and she can’t stop dreaming about Yayoi Kusama. When the opportunity came for her to materialize her “dream project,” she pulled the scenes from her dreams (like Kusama) and recreated them in virtual reality. Over the course of nine months, this became her latest photo series Fashion Laboratory, in collaboration with China’s leading lifestyle magazine iLOOK. In Fashion Laboratory, Island blends her highly saturated and colorful photography style with 3D modeling, creating virtual rooms where models appear to be floating pensively in the air against giant, primary-color-painted objects looming in the background. Just as Kusama felt that she was gradually disappearing into a sea of poka dots, Joy Island’s photos evoke the same feeling of things “melting away” in her imaginary room.
