“By the July of 2016,I already move to Berlin for half a year.I was asked by a Taiwanese curator, whether I start my new works to show.”
-No…. I think art production is not my first concerned, instead , life is.
Yes,Moving to somewhere nowadays is easy,you rent a storehouse, put your shit inside(despite you called it”my whole life”) bought a flight ticket, go to the new city,rent a flat, and buy a bunch of new shit from ikea.
All of those problems are money-wised. With currency, you can bought a exactly the same piece since most of the furniture brand are now marketing globally, and thats how people assumes things happened in the material world.
But I still feel unsettled.what do I missed?The exotic life-style from western view?
Being an um-employee in Berlin,this project starting from a world migrant trying to get connection with daily object–by self made . It than develop a series of discussion including: Gaining the Production Space / Acquisition of raw materials / Labour in mass production / Shipping and Pricing / Difference between Consumer and User.
