This work presents artist statues during the pandemic. After being locked for a long time, the familiar furnitures were alienated as dangerous jungle,

 

The work Pajama Party, 2020 is a series of moving image, each of them last 10 seconds. Instead of storytelling, it focus on the state presented by the performer during the pandemic in 2020. Different view point and monologue colour gives a heavy atmosphere, while the electronic sound made by the household appliances was magnified unlimitedly. During the long-term isolation, the familiar environment was gradually alienated by mental anxiety into an unfamiliar jungle, lost its previous functions as a private home. The human body no longer used these furniture, but was framed by the furniture.

 

Under the mental stress, curling on the floor became the starting point of another adventure which was happening at home. Movement in slow motion implied the suspension of time. It was hard to see the hope of going forward or beyond. Thus, the exploration of the inner part was the only way of escaping the stress. The weak noise from the clock and fridge was distorted. No one paid attention on it through normal daily activities. However, illusion enlarged the noise, made it become the loudest sound in this adventure. Anxiety of staying alone shaped the visual world, but also lead the artist finding an unfamiliar world. In this world, the human body was not the ruler anymore, who used to function or control the environment. On the contrary, human behaviors were shaped by the environment. This work explored both how human empowered the environment, and how environment in turn affected human’s behavior. It also questioned the central position of human, no matter it is in the nature, among different species, or simply at home.
