The Story of Objects / 物件的故事 (2014)
A residence project in Yoo Xi Art Festival
身体拥有故事，物件也有故事。
身体是“我”与外界沟通的桥梁。通过身体的感知，“我”确立自己的存在，并以此与外界取得联系。
物件承载着生活的记忆，每一个物件都可以用来窥见“我”生活的细节。而身体本身也是一个物件，同其他物件一样，身体有它自己的特征，自己的故事。物件不是选择的结果，“我”并不给物件编故事。事实上，是物件在拼命地表演。通过展示它的特征，显露它所有的细节，物件吸引了你的注意力，引起了你的凝视，焕起了你的想象。这就是我所谓的故事。
创作将以舞蹈的视角转化身体的存在，用各种形式的物件，展现舞蹈的观念。
The Story of objects
It was a seven-day residency in Yooxi Art Festival in the summer of 2014.
The idea is to imply the concept of Dance into the objects which we observed and be attracted, and make them to dance. If dance is a means to organize time and space, can we transform it into different forms with objects? How do we want to use the properties of an object to make a dance?
If dance is about changes, I will make you realize the changes even though it’s subtle,
If dance is about a touch, I want to make you be touched,
If dance is about an experience, I want to make an invitation for you to discover.
If dance is about movement, I want to make you feel it in stillness and in motion.
It’s an attempt to extend our understanding of Dance.
I invited four dancers, Wang Huaili, Huang Yuanyuan, Lu Xiaowei, Liang Fengzhi, and one video artist, Li Jian to work with me.
We made a series of performances in multiple forms.
One of the Works: Sound Dance / 声音舞剧
Lenghth: 58 mins 长度：58分钟
我们在艺术家的工作室进行了一系列的行为和事件。我把它们的声音录下来，然后对应舞剧的单人、双人、多人和集体的舞段概念，其中又参插了一些以前的声音表演的素材，整个作品就这样构成了。
声波是震动的结果。“每个运动，都包含了一种声音”，这里反其道而行之，我把它称为“声音舞剧”。
"Every sound has its movement", based on this idea, we made a series of activities in the artist's factory in Yangjiang, and I recorded the sound of those movements and mixed it with the sound performances I made before. By editing to the materials and reorganized it with the idea of Solo, Duet, Trio and Group dance, a piece called Sound Dance has been made.
It was played on a loop in the factory with four big speakers.
