"Lost Hotel" comes from Chen Wei's "New City" project started in 2013. It is about the imagination of a new city and its status quo in flux. There are steps and handrails on the ground, while the main building has disappeared. As a part of the whole construction, the staircase is isolated and deprived of its function. What is left behind is a temporary sculpture in the process, and a missed scene of everyday life.
