The exhibition about loving heart and home space
B09k Lunar Practices 2024 XII
Changsha, Dec01–Dec29, 2024
I rented an apartment as my studio and living room in 2023. Over this year, I spent most of
my time in this room, residing, cooking, reading, preparing for my teaching materials, and
my art practices. There is a close relationship between me and the room. The living room
and bedrooms have my household items and artworks, both of which placed my living
practices, those physical, individual and emotional. Together, these have made the room a
"home studio," and at the same time, the "home studio" forms a productive statement of
"I."
Most of my creations in this room are still in heart shapes, still in love with the heart. And I realize
that the heart has always been a territory, the land, but nomadic. The creation of every
heart is my identification with the land.
During the B09k Luna Practices in December, the "home studio" will open an exhibition to
the public, opening on 09. Dec, 14. Dec, 21. Dec, 28. Dec, from 14:00 to 19:00.

The Heart
Parking chocks, cup hooks
2021
In 2021, I stumbled upon these two ground bollards on the streets of
London. Coincidentally, when I stood them up on their sides and
brought them together, they formed a heart shape—one bollard
became the left side of the heart, and the other the right. I took this
"coincidence" home, turning it into a piece of my artwork.
The "coincidence" was my first heart piece, and ever since this heart
appeared, I have continuously encountered hearts in my life.

The “Heart” seemed too lonely on its own, so I made the “Cake” to pair with it. This pair is my graduation work- The Cake and Heart, Happy Together!

TV Body draws inspiration from Luce Irigaray's Speculum of the Other Woman. Television images extend our vision to every corner of the world, yet the television signals and signal-receiving
antennas that transmit these images to each television—are often forgotten. The forgotten mirrors the missing "passage" in the Platonic cave, as revealed by Irigaray: the passage between
"reality" and "representation," much like reproductive organs, yet remains forgotten.
Here, the television and signal antenna are presented as a whole body.

Of Course I’m Willing to Take the Stars for You; A Consciousness of the Pleasure
Photographic image printing, lightbox installation 240x80cm, 2019
Video 3′ 47′′, 2019
From 2016 to 2019, while living in Guangzhou, I spent much of my time in parks. To me, the park was like a theater—a place where the ordinary could feel dramatic, and the dramatic could seem
utterly ordinary. My time there became a practice of discovering this everyday and theatrical (if you'd call it a "discovery"). Of Course I’m Willing to Take the Stars for You and A Consciousness of
the Pleasure emerged from these discoveries. These two works were later presented in my graduation exhibition in 2019.
