True Me grounds AMO’s research into a staged space by literally reflecting the nature of the Meitu app. Over one billion users use Meitu to retouch selfie images and produce reimagined expressions of themselves. Continuing the vein of AMO’s work beyond fashion show sets and retail interiors, the exhibition concept plays on the app’s contradiction between the raw, inner self and post-produced image that’s created. Spaces are aligned along a central corridor connected to a series of spaces. These rooms are clad in head-to-toe curved mirrors along the corridor to reflect the notion of the outer self. Inside, six soft zones clothed in flannel, felt and grass display the idea of the inner self. Together, the corridor and rooms take visitors on a journey through visual artworks and performance spaces.
