Solo Exhibition Surplus Space, Wuhan
The experience of "dwelling" is far from self-evident. For me, it is fluid—a continuous movement from homeland to elsewhere, from here to there. The "there" gradually accumulates traces through the presence of life, becoming increasingly inhabited until, to some extent, it turns into a new "here." More often than not, however, this marks the beginning of another journey: departure, wandering, entering another "there," and becoming part of it. Yet once I leave, the homeland itself also grows unfamiliar over time, becoming difficult to recognize or identify. It is within this oscillation between the familiar and the unfamiliar that my journey unfolds.
This journey is not directed toward a fixed destination. Rather, it is concerned with movement and pathways—with those places where traces are continually formed in the course of travel. A country, a city, the railway connecting north and south, a mountain abandoned after mining, a river that repeatedly floods and recedes, a sandbank that shifts year after year, or a house that has become a ruin and survives only in language and memory—all of these acquire meaning because they once bore the presence of life.
The exhibition presents these points where different times and places intersect. Here, I attempt to gather scattered stones. Each comes from somewhere, yet through circumstance they converge here, forming fragments, places, or events. They become sites where I have, at different moments, lingered, experienced, or reflected.
