Moonrise (In production), 2024
Video performanceMoonrise positions the two performers as summoner and what is being summoned, inspired by the story of Frankenstein. In the crisis-ridden remains of natural environments and human activities, it further reflects the relationsandinter - transformation between the creation and the creator, nature and technology, desire and instinct, alienationand domestication.
It is seen as an allegorical myth with open end and narration circulation. This time, the creature owns intelligence and the body is written with Nüshu (which means female writing, a language system created and used only for women). The embodied experience and legacy of women produce endless life force. Individual struggle and suffer can transform into mutual empathy and understanding .
Especially thanks to photo documentation by Gaayein Jiaxian Peng and Jianan Zhang.
Moonrise - Becoming, 2024
Single-channel video performance
45'', colored, with sound
It happens in a boundless environment, being inspired by Frankenstein. The monster chose to suicide in the original story, yet this work has another direction. The body is written with Nüshu, which means female writing, a language system created and used only for women. Endless life force is produced by the sea, as the embodied experience and legacy of women. The performer's posture gradually shifts from confrontation to being on the same frequency as this, as the waves pound over and over again.
