It discloses an old Chinese couple\u2019s uncanny yet familiar mundaneness under their roof, where dwells silence, routines, aging bodies, isolation, dependency, and the accustomed, erratic, and repeated acts of violence. \n\nDuring years of my childhood, I was the observer in my grandparents\u2019 house. I\u2019d watched them lengthily in their secretive states. They rarely moved, though sometimes ambled through spaces in quietness. They joined each other on occasions while spending most of their time in separation.\n\nI conceptualized the installation, attempting to understand the mystery in their relationship; to discover the truths that were hidden under their roles of the caretaker, and the disabled, tempered veteran. I deliberately filmed the scenes in meditative, durational manners, inviting the viewers\u2019 consciousness to stream away and return at its own pace. \n\nRegarding the exhibition, I intend to examine the architecture of the installation, exercising spatial connections to create nuanced experiences. Space will be sectioned with both translucent (curtains) and solid projection materials to question the meanings between the exposed and the obscured, the fragile and the enduring.\n\nMinimal, meaningful objects will be employed to underline the senses of touch and taste and to provoke the audiences\u2019 physical connection to the work through the actions of walking, sitting, standing, eating, or breaking the curtains.","space":"A darkened interior exhibition space with high ceilings and deep depth is preferred. There will be life-size projections, simple furniture, and curtains dropping from the ceiling.\n\nMoreover, the installation could possibly be staged in separate rooms in one location. Through the transitions from space to space, the viewers could digest and meditate on their lingering thoughts and feelings. \n\nRegarding the dimension, ideally, space is no less than 400 cm height x 600 cm width x 1200 cm depth.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"yuguizhen2019","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/310193476","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Siru","surname":"Wen","email":"siruwen@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"E32392433","address":"1546 S Sherbourne Drive, Apt1","city":"Los Angeles","nacionality":"Chinese","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1990-06-02T07:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1990-06-02T07:00:00.000Z","telephone":"18149542543","web":"https:\/\/www.siruwen.com\/"}
