The Box Project tries to challenge to
traditional ideas of sculpture, exploring process of transformation. There is
no specific meaning in every box; the meaning is created in an instant moment
when audiences open the box. I was
confronted with many challenges and hardships in this project, towards how to
create a specific meaning in every box.
Actually, I just made some different emotions in every box, like
surprise, confusion and unsafety.
Even though sometimes that does not work out, at least, people is
curious about these same closed boxes that makes them would like to open these
boxes. The most important thing is
that I need to make them do not feel boring when they open the first box and
make them still want to open the other ones.
In this box, I destroyed hundreds of books or
booklet I collected by cutting and boring, and then used the paper materials to
create a new book. To some extent
this is a kind of brutality, but the outcome is beautiful. In the process of doing it, I create a contradiction
of damage and reconstruction. The
box is a tomb of hundreds of books but a reconstructed artist’s book as well.
