Over Growth

(proposal) Video for ICC tower, 2020

“The crazily spreading vines on the building are the sweet revenge on the expanding urban area that is nibbling the wild.”

Animated images, generated according to special algorithms, as an abstract representation of how giant vines might possibly grow on the skyscraper’s surfaces are shown on the surfaces via the facade.

By making the vines climbing on ICC tower, I want to address the conflicts between human and nature, urban and wild, us and the other. The images remind us a possible ending of the conflicts, a future that we fail to build a harmony relationship with nature.

Nature always wins. We are all just a part of it.

Kirby

Sculpture, acrylic, wood, paper, 2021

with Karlie ZHAO, Wynn Leung, Joyce GE, Summer Yau

Light, shape, image…

Combining real-life scale laser-cut slices of deformed 3D models of our body parts with the corresponding one-to-one scale drawings and data visualisation patterns, we assemble a “cursed Kirby”.

It can be about lots of things: perception, gender issues, human mechanism and etc. But we don’t claim any here.

You and He and She

Multimedia, with Rucy ZHAO, 2019

Tinder is a good platform to see yourself. You show your pictures, representing your self recognization, you also find for interesting people (or sexy ones, 😉 ), reflecting your interest and criterion.

We interviewed 12 people on Zurich’s streets (more exactly, strasse), asked them to describe their Tinder profiles for us, in return, we did a sketch drawing of the description for them.

After a whole day of interviewing people in heavy rain, we came back and made the drawing just with the audio we recored in the interview.

The concept here is: On Tinder, people mainly focus on the photos but ignore the power of text. Behind text there can be more space for imagination, and that’s also what’s lack in todays society.

The final artwork includes 12 drawings and text from the people, as well as the audio montage of the description of their Tinder profiles.

With the red wall in Kino Roland, the ex-porn cinema, we also did live drawing for the audience of the show TNDR Launch Night.
