Six years ago, a female teacher's wrote, ”The world is so big, I want to see it.” The work is s inspired by the news of a Chinese teacher who resigned from her job. Static objects such as scattered words of confession in a diary, unattended pet fish, and incomplete scribblings are installed as clues for the audience to piece together a story of radical movement and flight: the self-disappearing of a middle-class woman who escapes from bureaucratic everyday of the ossified system, seeking a life beyond being a cog in the machine. The installation aims to heighten the sudden suspension of mundane routine, while highlighting the apprehension around waiting and uncertainty.


In the other room, triggering the sound installation with their random movements—which includes ambient recordings, confessional notes, and fragmentary verses on questions of distance and intimacy—the audience truly partakes in the telling of the woman’s story. The infrared sensor is used for sound effects, offering a space for voluntary listening and attention in lieu of the technology’s familiar association with censorship or surveillance.

六年前女教师的辞职信上说，世界那么大，我想去看看。作品”胶囊/稻草”从一场突然失踪的状态开启，声音和线索的文字通过口述，掩藏，撕毁，展示贯穿在居住空间和黑色的放映间。散落的文本、被遗弃的宠物鱼，以及个人绘画作为线索，让观众拼凑出一个虚构的消失故事。在日常生活突然被暂停时，伴随着疫情期间以及随之而来的被离职潮中，我们作为脆弱个体在失调社会系统中的日益不确定感。观众的动作将触发声音装置，其中包括环境现场录音、关于距离与亲密关系的笔记和诗歌，所有这些都需要观众用心聆听。散落在地上犹如压垮大众的微小压力稻草，我们在一个如同胶囊一般的局促空间朝外眺望。在对未来极大的不确定下，观众在影像，装置，诗歌中游走徘徊寻找任何蛛丝马迹，在压力和平衡中从内部窥探世界，思考这一切究竟是还未开始还是已经结束。
