Humming to the body

I shortly rented and lived in an Airbnb apartment above a gallery on Chung King Road in LA in 2017. The experience was sort of a curated topological cushion for me to get to know the fluid urban landscape of LA. Through my windows toward the back of the Chung King Road alley, I watched a senior Chinese couple chilling, cooking food, air-drying their clothes on the balcony. It reminded me of some nostalgic childhood moment living with my grandparents in a Yangtze river-side town in Southwest China (where the city of Chung King is in the vicinity). From time to time I took instant Fujifilm snapshots of the old couple’s hang-drying rack.

This installation is about the mirrored self in a windowed view, the softness of the body and a gentle flow in the heart.
