No Jute Cloth for the Bones
2019-ongoing
Interactive site specific installation, raw jute stalk
Dimension variable
First installed at Hugo Boss Asia Art Award finalist exhibition, Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China, 2019
An installation of jute stalk, usually used as firewood, or temporary construction material for low-income shelters.
The fiber is removed from the stalk, the stalks are like barebones, without skin, without flesh, without coverage and protection.
The piece is supposed to be a walkway to go through, to be touched.
The sound of them touching, a lullaby dedicated to the loss of lives, to the separations of the living and the dead, unable to reconcile due to the tragedies of war and famine.
