INSTALLATION

TU-1 features a humorous and absurd role-playing approach, attempting to simulate a bird’s-eye view from the sky. It revisits the unique sensory experience of flying over the Alps for the first time during winter—where the dazzling, ice-encrusted, snow-covered mountains appear to freeze the vitality of the terrain, yet evoke a certain romantic and poetic quality. Through the eyes of a bird, the video captures the cycling principle of natural ecosystem, preserving this precious visual feast. At the same time, it recalls the journey with the innocence and wonder of childhood—a state closest to nature its unadorned essence.

TU-1 showed with a sculptural installation in RCA WIP SHOW 2020, recreating the scene from the video shoot, intentionally elevating the entire structure within the exhibition space to echo the grandeur of the Alps. TU-1 had also selected by NOHAT ART for video art screening ‘What is She?’ at EX-Baldessarre in Belford, UK, which was a sister event to artist Andy Holden’s exhibition ‘What am I?’.

TU-2 pushes TU-1 further, which expanded the discussion of mother nature, by embedding the Greek mythology of Gaia and Hou Tu Niang Niang in Chinese mythology. It showed on Everything Forever, a 3-week online exhibition featuring 90+ artists from around the globe who met on the RCA Contemporary Art Practice course.
