Installation at Times Museum, Guangzhou:
Star House above the Breaking Waves explores the entanglement of ecological, historical, and economic narratives within a fictional coastal Namkong City by the Southern Sea in the year 2046. Through a fragmented narrative framed by a hacked AI archivist, the work juxtaposes ancient myths, tales of piracy, and history of real estate development to depict a complex multigenerational relationship with the ocean. Tracing the lineage of the Gods of Fire and the South Sea, a Qing-era pirate turned scholar, a 20th-century real estate developer, and future climate narrative—the work examines how systems of power and resistance shape the city’s past, present, and speculative future.
作品《碎波上的星光行》虚构了一个未来华南沿海城市--南港，当地为应对气候变化而开发建造水上社区，背后则暗含着源于历史的权力博弈。通过一位功能受损的人工智能档案员的叙述片段，作品将关于火神与南海神话、清朝海盗故事、20世纪房地产开发历史与未来气候叙事并置，描绘人与海洋之间微妙的跨世代连结，试图探寻其中生态、历史、经济与水陆视角之间的交织与纠葛。
