This project attempts to visualize shattered impressions and stereotypes of distant places using Chinese antiques as a case study.
Westerners think of Chinese Ming vases as exotic, expensive, and sophisticated, while Easterners think of Tennessee as the home of country music and the symbol of the Caucasian peasants. Perhaps it's true, perhaps not. And perhaps people stick to their knowledge and will never agree with each other, or perhaps they will.
