The Ashes of canoes
Through observations of a Neolithic human activity site (Kuahuqiao Site) in Hangzhou (China), the project probes clues that the Kuahuqiao canoes were stored and interpreted by the museum on its original site.
Surrounded by the real time monitoring systems and all-weather temperature control equipment, the dust of history floats, refracts, and decays. Following the power of modern museums’ technical facilities, the project questions the modern museum’s manipulation and construction of the artifacts’ “original context”, and attempts to touch the muddy strata where ancient workplaces, museum systems, and technological power overlapped. It captures lost signals, explores fuzzy boundaries and immerses into flowing historical imagination.
The project is currently in its first chapter “Condensation”.
舟烬
基于对中国杭州一处新石器时代人类活动遗址（跨湖桥文明）所进行的观察，“舟烬”探查了该遗址中的独木舟被其原址之上的博物馆系统进行存储与转译的线索。从实时的监控系统，再至全天候的温度控制，历史的尘埃于此漂浮，折射，衰变。循现代博物馆的技术设施之力，项目质询了现代博物馆对于文物“原境”的操纵与构建，并试图站在古代劳作场所，现代博物馆系统，技术地层于泥泽中相叠的地带，捕捉那些遗失的信号，探索其模糊边界，触碰其流淌的多维历史想象。项目目前在进行名为“冷凝”的第一个章节。
