Victoria Fu’s third solo exhibition with Document features a new series of glass artworks that are at once sculptures, paintings, photographs, and prints. Reflecting her ongoing interest in the mediation of perception through technology, these works quote the visual qualities of LCD screens through material and figural representations of iridescence.

By layering digitally-derived, lens- and scanner-based imagery onto painted glass and aluminum surfaces, light and color are constructed and refracted in physical ways to evoke—and to riff off of—the idiosyncratic and seductive apparatus of our engagement with the virtual world. The exhibition also includes a video on a monitor, filtered through a glass sculpture, blurring further the boundaries between screen and object. This body of work continues her exploration of how material processes and technological aesthetics intersect to challenge the viewer’s engagement with surface, depth, and temporality.
