Embodied Terrain: I'm
Chinese But Need To Speak English Everyday.
(Public Intervention / Macro
photography)
"I'm Chinese but need to speak
English everyday" is a statement of my inner irreconcilable conflict
that I want to express to others anonymously. I published this by secretly
placing tiny text in various specific obscure locations where viewers’
everyday conscious activities are enacted (e.g. pressing the traffic
light button, pulling the panel at the street mail box, inserting coins
into a newspaper machine, etc.), and at those transient actions and moments,
their attentions are abruptly drawn to my statement. Such discreet ways
of conveying messages initiates viewer’s curiosity and an internal
interaction are triggered and leads to a form of linear communication.
