Fraught Relations #2, 2023
Inkjet print on rice paper, aluminum frame
59.4 x 84.1 cm
The drawing depicts a fraud that the artist encountered while freelancing as an architect in Beijing, the design site is located within walking distance from the exhibition space. In the years of the aftermath, the artist meticulously investigated and analysed the relations amongst each individual involved. Using three types of lineweights including dotted, solid and wavy lines, the drawing intends to show three kinds of relations - familial/romantic, friendship and professional. In an attempt to trace back to its origin, the artist ultimately failed to understand how they were frauded.

School Rating #1, 2023
Inkjet print on rice paper, aluminum frame
59.4 x 84.1 cm
The first of a series of architectural floorplans in which the artist rates the facilities of the higher education institutions they attended in the past. For this particular school shown in the drawing, the floorplan resembles a series of combined Georgian Houses. The artist recalls the experience of attending the school similar to being part of a dysfuctional family. In order to pay for the final year tuition, the artist’s mother took out a loan from the bank.

No Door, One Window, Only Light, 2023
Super 8mm film transferred to HD video
Three-channel installation, loop: 26:32 mins
Theatrical version: 12:25 mins
Following the recent death of an artist friend L from home, who allegedly suffered from schizophrenia for more than 15 years, the artist talks to L through an imagined letter exchange, where they confront each other on notions of home, vulnerability, resistance, memory, and fraught relations.
Centering on an architectural model of the artist's childhood room, the film is entirely shot on super 8mm and accompanied by an immersive recording at the artist's home, as well as original music from Langham Research Centre. The film draws from archival footage from journalistic report on May 1968, early artist filmmakers' home videos, as well as makes references to structural cinema from the late 60s which prioritises light and space, as an autonomous site for resistance.
