海角老屋:嵊山的根脉回声

本装置作品位于无人渔村的码头边沙滩,部分结构埋入沙下。木桩勾勒出房屋轮廓,彩
色渔网编织成墙,架设在木桩上。渔网既承传历史,也预示生机更新。海洋生物将附着
其上,装置色彩也随时间褪去。在半埋沙下的餐桌旁,椅子面朝大海,仿佛记忆中人们围
坐谈天的场景。脚步声是否还会再次接近?装置探索的是流动中的归属感——在时间
长河中,“家”的意义是房屋也是记忆的纽带。

家,究竟是什么?可能是屋顶上的瓦片,也可能是餐桌上一碗热气腾腾的饭菜,又或者是窗边听到的无规律脚步声, 抑或是能眺望海天一色的景观。“ 家” 这个概念超越时间和空间, 既是一个物质空间, 也是一种跨越时光的精神归属。嵊山岛在潮汐的涨落间见证了历史变迁, 这里是周代徐偃王东迁的归宿, 也是古日本遣唐使经由之地; 高僧鉴真六度横渡东海, 在嵊山最后补给方启程弘法; 抗倭英雄侯继高誓死守护家园; 一波波渔民来此谋生, 后因时移世易
离开故土. . . . . . 生命如白驹过隙, 但“ 家” 的概念凝结着人们的精神归属。

PHRAGMITE AUSTRALIS
 

Salt marshes and wetland habitats constitute a significant portion of the landscape in the northeastern regions of the United States. In Massachusetts alone, there are approximately 21,000 hectares of salt marsh, encompassing both private and public lands along the coastal areas.

Wetlands and salt marshes are biodiversity hotspots, home to a variety of flora and fauna. One prominent species is Phragmites australis, also known as the common reed. Due to its invasive nature and resilience, phragmites have thrived in these ecosystems for centuries. They outcompete native species and smother much of the local biodiversity in the wetland habitat. Additionally, its hardiness enables it to invade urban areas, commonly spotted off of roadways. 

Despite its invasive characteristics, phragmites play essential ecological roles through its ability to mitigate rising sea levels, strengthen the soil and habitats of certain native species, and filter toxic runoff from urban environments. Thus, phragmites are instrumental in maintaining the delicate equilibrium of the wetland ecosystem.

In the U.S. alone, an estimation of 12 million tons of furnitures are thrown away each year. While most of the disposed furnitures are less than fifteen years old, 80% of them goes to the landfill, showcasing a significant increase of concern for landfill waste and increase amount of carbon emission.

The initiative seeks to address the growing issue of fast furniture waste while promoting the health of wetlands where diverse species coexist in balance. Recognizing the current incentives that encourage the destruction of phragmites, the goal is to establish new motivations for managing these plants responsibly. This approach involves both fostering their regrowth and utilizing them as part of an innovative solution to a complex waste stream. Additionally, it presents an opportunity to develop a localized system for furniture production, significantly reducing the environmental impact of shipping fast furniture across the globe.

“Reed-y Made” features reusable joinery units that can be used to create simple custom furniture designs. Reeds are tied with modular bonds which form a standardized bundle, allowing further assembly.
