Title:
Home: Feel free to touch me or re-arrange me
Media:
Mixed media
Artist Statement:
The 2nd handed goods in the Dawn Market like orphans living in an orphanage, waiting for their new parents. A home is needed for them to escape from reality and receive parental care. I gather them together to form a new family. Audience are encouraged to touch and re-arrange them. Their exstence become meaningful while the use of their frequency increase.
Process:
1. I will buy the 2nd handed goods from the Dawn Market
2. Clean and repair / re-produce them
3. Give them a re-birth date lable
4. Gather them to form a new family, displays like a home
5. Audience are welcomed to touch and re-arrange them
6. A recording will be played to let audience experience lives in the market
___________________________________________________________
Initially, I decided to display my work like a“格仔舖”, and sell/give them to others after show. However I find that the importance for the 2nd handed goods(or any other things) is to let people realize their existence. They will not mean anything while they are being ignored. In contrast, their exstence become meaningful while the use of their frequency increase.
