Dancing with the absence

"Improvements in machinery effect a substitution of labor, comparatively unskilled, for that which is more skilled."As a forsaken fan reclaims the stage, trembling with intensity, its blades absent, its sole means of protest becomes a dance on the stage. It's challenging to discern whether the fan's transformation into a machine was a result of relentless human physical exertion to perform repetitive tasks or whether a human has been replaced by a superior machine. Is the fan dancing due to the absence of blades and audience, or is it dancing because it is being overlooked by a massive system? What level of noise is required for a dance like that to avoid being disregarded?

Granny's Lullaby/摇啊摇,摇到外婆桥

Granny's Lullaby) is a performance art installation created on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2023. The work consists of two parts, an interactive installation and a performance art show, in three chapters. Flickering light bulbs and swaying swings form an uncertain space of memories, solidifying the trauma caused by the earthquake across time and space, where uncontrollable disasters, the collision between the collective and the individual, and the shattering and rebuilding of order, gradually fall asleep in the lullaby of childhood.

Chickadee

Chickadee, their name reputedly comes from the fact that their calls make a distincive"chick-a-dee-dee-dee",though their normal call is actually"fee-bee", and the "chick-a-dee-dee-dee"call is an alarm call. Three blinds simulate the wings and feathers of a chickadee, the bird brings a warning. When one gets used to the sirens it becomes a kind of numbness.

24 days Silent Image

When I returned home for the summer due to COVID-19 isolation policies, I spent 24 days alone in hotels across three different locations. The confined space, scheduled meal deliveries, daily nucleic acid tests, and the view outside my window resembled a static picture, leaving me disconnected from the passage of time. Life's conventional concept of time became distilled into basic necessities.As I moved to each new hotel, walking through the long corridors, time seemed to stretch out once more. The uncontrolled duration of time and the picture-perfect scenery outside left me feeling disoriented. Describing the experience and emotions of those 24 days is challenging; my memory feels like fragmented and unfolded paper, and I can only record these observations.

Driftwood

The work interacts with the viewer by establishing the relationship of "trap-bait-prey". The driftwood that a person desperately wants to catch when falling into the water is used as bait and becomes the object of desire production. The viewer is "caught" after triggering the mechanism, and then the "trap" is restored. The driftwood exists as a quest for the thrill of not being satisfied, attracting the fallen in the river of reality, full of fear and fantasy prey.
