Archive Project

My archive, likes a diary, is a secret for me and is going to express the feeling of safety.  It consists of two boxes, one is the word part of my archive, another one is the picture part.

In the first box, I create my own system of letters by 26 pieces of urn fragments which from the urn of Jessica.  Different shapes of the fragment stand for different letters, which means the urn is an alphabet.  Every documents is written by the 26 pieces of urn fragments, which can only be read by transforming the shapes to letters.  I use this way to reflect the privacy, and meanwhile, to reflect the safety of my archive.

In the second box, I do an installation to display the way to keep information of pictures in secret. Every pieces of pictures is related to each other and the red string grid system is very complicated.  Before I put pictures in the box, I put them in the water firstly, and then knit the wet papers in the box.  They are crossed optionally and all related to each other closely.  So when somebody put one paper from the box, the system of the archive will be totally destroyed.
