Breaking as Fixing破碎与新生
25 October – 5 November · Daily performance 1–3pm10 月 25 日 – 11 月 5 日 · 每日表演 13:00–15:00
“Breaking creates room for new possibilities, and lets people take agency in reshaping the stories behind these objects.与其修复，不如打碎——让新的可能得以诞生。”
In this exhibition, the artist and participants use physical actions — unravelling, breaking, mending — as metaphors for the ways we process memories, stories, and emotions. Daily objects become vessels, whether fabric wearables or ceramic containers, and become tangible embodiments of intangible experience. Through the delicate yet violent acts of deconstruction and recreation, the artist experiments with whether the complex mix of emotion, narrative, and self-identification we attach to objects can be transformed by action — and whether destruction can be a means of creation.
Inspired by the tremendously moving stories the artist encountered in East Ham, fabric and ceramic weave a vivid picture of domestic life, reflecting both the intimacy and the turbulence that reside within it. Here, violence becomes a tool for release and renewal, working against the toxic pull of nostalgia.
在这场展览里，艺术家与参与者以身体的动作——拆解、打碎、缝补——作为我们处理记忆、故事与情绪的隐喻。日常物件成为容器，无论是可穿的织物还是陶瓷器皿，都成为无形经验的有形承载。通过既细腻又暴烈的解构与再造，艺术家试验：我们附着在物件上的那团复杂的情绪、叙事与自我认同，能否被行动所转化——而毁坏，能否成为创造的一种方式。
受艺术家在东汉姆（East Ham）遇到的动人故事启发，织物与陶瓷共同织出一幅鲜活的家庭生活图景，映照其中的亲密与动荡。在这里，暴力成为释放与更新的工具，抵抗怀旧那有毒的牵引。
Breaking into Anew
2024 · Fabric, wood, nails, velcro, fishing line
Interactive invitation — unknit the sweater, and create something new on the frame. Each sweater is a found object with its own history, from different countries and knitting techniques. As the audience unknits each one, they reshape its narrative, reclaiming the power to intervene with the emotions and stories embedded in every thread.
拆而成新
2024 · 织物、木、钉、魔术贴、鱼线
互动邀请——拆开毛衣，在框架上织出新的东西。每一件毛衣都是一件带着各自历史的现成品，来自不同国家、不同的编织工艺。当观众拆解它们，也在重塑其叙事，夺回介入每一根线里所藏之情绪与故事的权力。
Breaking in Cycles
2024 · Mixed-media installation, performance, video
Performance rule — daily, the artist breaks the fixed ceramic pieces from the day before and starts fixing them again. The fixing takes place in the intimacy of her home; the breaking happens in the fire-exit corridor — a space used in emergencies to escape. This location becomes a symbolic “exit” from domestic life and its memories. The piece began before the exhibition and ended on the final day, leaving an uncertain outcome — whether the fragments will be repaired, rebuilt into something new, or remain broken.
循环里的破碎
2024 · 综合媒介装置、表演、影像
表演规则——每天，艺术家打碎前一天修好的陶瓷，再重新开始修补。修补发生在她家的私密空间里；打碎则发生在消防逃生通道——一个紧急时用来逃离的空间。这个位置成为对家庭生活及其记忆的象征性「出口」。作品在展览开始前就已开始，在最后一天结束，留下不确定的结局——碎片会被修复、被重建成新的东西，还是就此保持破碎。
