Residency

Residency at Switzerland,Tenna

I had participated in The Alps Art Academy (28th of June – 7th of July 2018), an international summer academy in the Swiss Alps dedicated to the theme of Land and Environmental Art. With a changing thematic focus the academy takes place every two years at the Berghotel Alpenblick, 1650 metres above sea level in Tenna, Safiental (GR).

All we drink the same water here, Tenna. What I can smell the soil is absorbing water quietly. What I can see the animals are drinking at the trough. And what I can taste a cup of hot coffee. In my work, I have collected the cups from villagers which they use daily. Then molding the cups into the mud I made, with the soil and sawdust which collected from Tenna. Waiting for the rain here. Then a village will grow.

所有東西都在喝同一水源，泥土靜靜吸水、動物在水盆飲水和人們在慢煮咖啡。我收集村民的日常用的杯子，收集這裡的泥土及木屑，將杯子倒模在泥土裡，等待收集這裡的一場雨，長出一條村子來。
