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。

“小岛你好”艺术装置国际竞赛优秀提案

2023

MAD Rhapsody reframed architectural work as a spatial and narrative inquiry, using exhibition design as a research method to translate architectural ideology, speculative futures, and cultural values into a public experience.

Rather than presenting architecture as a chronological portfolio, the exhibition asked how architectural ideas could be understood as cultural positions shaped by history, nature, technology, and public life. The curatorial challenge was to translate abstract architectural thinking into an experiential narrative without flattening its complexity.

Curatorial Structure as Research

MAD Rhapsody was conceived as a six-part curatorial narrative that framed architectural work as a cultural and philosophical inquiry. Rather than a chronological retrospective, the exhibition organized projects into thematic chapters exploring classical aesthetics, future cities, nature, time, public life, and boundaries. Curation functioned as a research method, using spatial sequencing, atmosphere, and media to translate architectural ideas into public experience.

Installation
Implementation

The exhibition also features a re-creation of the “Tunnel of Light” installation, transforming the original 750m long Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel revitalization at the Echigo-Tsumari Triennale into a smaller 3m “tunnel” that showcases river reflections. I worked closely with a team of spatial designers, material manufacturers, light designers, engineers, and fabricators to bring this vision from idea to life.
