People ignore the objects and walk past it. I kind of expected that people would pay attention to the interaction between people and the objects, although it wasn’t the point I was trying to make. I guess when I chose the locations in public space, social interaction would be automatically especially paid attention to. However,Continue reading “CRITS”

The heaviest of burins crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man’s body. The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life’s most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closerContinue reading “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”

So I had never really done my work or do something so weird in public. It was both exciting and frightening and I was literally dying while holding each position for over an hour. But I’m glad that I tried. It’s the first time that I’ve tried a video camera as well. It’s much smallerContinue reading “Shooting 7 & Installation View”

Weiwei also suggested me to have more different content. It’s true that I was looking at daily activities in the house because emptiness for me didn’tContinue reading “Pathway Sessions WIP”
