Light—The Direction is Moving

In this project, the light installation is a part of my previous installation 7:3 Colors. The mural is the extension of the light which goes to the exhibition hall. According to the idea of light and shadow, I designed the process and structure of the mural, invited audience made the mural painting process.  

“How do you understand the direction of light? How do you represent the direction on a two-dimensional paper? Will it be a line? A circle? An open shape? A closed shape? Or a shape without shape? Please draw ‘a direction of light’.” With these questions, before the opening, the volunteers painted on a triangle canvas area which set up by me as a shadow area. On the opening duration, audience were invited to paint on the any parts of the wall. After the opening, I took down the previous shadow area, which eventually turned into a light area. 

光—它的方向在移动 

这件作品的灯光装置部分是我之前的装置（7:3 Colors）的一个部分，壁画部分则是我对光的理解在展厅里的延伸，并且由观众共同参与完成了我对光的一些设想。

首先，我向参与绘画的观众和志愿者提出了一些问题：你如何理解光的方向？你又如何在一张平面的纸上表现你所理解的方向？它将是一条线？一个圈？一个开放式的形状？一个封闭的形状？或者是一个没有形状的形状？带着这些问题，在开幕前的布展中，我邀请了几位志愿者绘制了我所设定的一片三角阴影区。开幕过程中，观众们被邀请在整面墙上的任意区域来描绘他们所理解的光之方向。在开幕结束之后，我取下了之前的三角形阴影区， 原本的阴影区转变为了一束新的光的区域。
