installation with performance/ The materials used come from recycling: 7000 thrown-away glass bottles, waste material from large-scale stage theater, old newspapers, worn clothes etc.,/ 2010-2011 / Hong Kong

“Reclaim” is the creation concept for the whole exhibition. In order trying to visualize the word “reclaim” and interact with the venue, the entrance and exit are in the same location under a circular zone so that the viewer must walk in a circle path, the Mandala-like circle simulates a delicate dimension between “macro/infinite big universe” and “micro/inner-side small universe”.

The small universe within the circle demonstrates several forms of human livings.  In the gigantic recycling system of the universe, a human being naturally interacts with each other.  We do not have an individual living form here, people can choose to share with others and bless with every moment.  “I take something from you and you take something back from me”, back and forth and could only be a continue process . A few hundred artists using their artistic works in the form of glass bottle, genuinely “respond to the exhibition”, reexamining those which have been thrown-away.  

這是一種把破壞環境與浪費,減至最低的藝術形式。基於一份對自然的理想,二犬十一咪變身為「回收員」,經驗本地回收情況,作品採用的創作物料主要是回收而來:7000個棄置玻璃瓶、大型劇場廢料、舊報紙、舊衣物等,再將之分解、再造、重現。展覽三部曲,經驗了有機成長,呈現本土廢物回收面貌。展覽後,部份物料繼續履行其「回收」使命,循環再造,可持續發展下去。
