THE WALKS SW16-PLOT

Now a parking lot, the demolished neighborhood left behind a single witness: a power distribution house — half relic, half ghost. Soundwalk 16 takes this structure as compass and anchor, mapping a neighborhood that lingers only as echoes in memory.

‘遛弯儿’16分钟特别企划:这片被拆除的社区如今成了附近医院的临时停车场,唯一留下的见证者只剩一座配电房。以这座配电房为罗盘与锚点,‘遛弯儿’试图重构一个仅存于记忆中的社区。在这个临时停车场里,消逝的过往、被抹除的痕迹与新生的‘非地方’相互交织。造访这个仅以记忆形式存在的"非地方"时究竟意味着什么?






THE WALKS

Use audio and walking as an invitation for listeners to rediscover, interact with, and forge a personal connection with the urban environment. The Walks are a series of soundwalks, 60, 16, and 06 minutes long, focusing on audio experiences in non-places.

‘遛弯儿’邀请听众在声音的指引下重新体验现代城市,尝试在快速,零交流,匿名的城市公共空间进行互动,并产生连接。这一系列的声音漫步分别持续60分钟、16分钟和6分钟。





ME AND MY ROOM

Converting computers into my homerooms, the desktop-based live performance explores digital consumption and adaptation in the modern digitalized world, as well as the complexities and simplicities of living an increasingly online lifestyle.

‘我和我的房间’将电脑桌面转化为房间,基于直播的表演由两部分组成:和我一起整理房间,欢迎参观我的房间。现场表演探索了现代数字化世界中数码产品的消费和适应,以及越来越普遍的在线生活方式的两面性。






ON THE GROUND OF BERLIN

Connecting with the city of Berlin by collecting soil from various locations across the city over two weeks and symbolizing soil consumption—internally through tea ceremonies and externally through wearable tie-dye.

‘在柏林的土地上’通过消费城市中的土壤与柏林建立连接:通过茶道象征食用土壤,通过可穿戴的扎染象征使用土壤。消费的五种不同颜色及物质组成的土壤从柏林的各个地点挖掘收集来。





WHEN SHE COOKS

Highlighting food as the binding force that signifies the growth of the family lineage and honoring the matriarchs' role in nourishing the family and their dedication to self-care through culinary expertise with a cookbook in a modern kitchen setting.

‘她下厨’借用现代商业后厨中备餐小票的形式,以传统家庭食物的食谱为纽带,彰显并赞颂女性家长们在滋养家庭中的重要角色,以及她们通过烹饪展现的自我关爱。
