Dance until there is no tomorrow
Juke box, 50 vinyls
123 x 73 x 54 cm
This jukebox holds fifty vinyls, each circling around a single theme: the illusion of the end. Apocalypse, collapse, human despair—echoes of our darkest fears pressed into plastic. Yet, instead of silence or mourning, the machine invites us to dance. To move with disillusion, to let the rhythms of destruction become strangely celebratory, as if joy could be found in the ruins. The jukebox also bears the image of a burning, desolate landscape, a vision of ruin etched onto its body. It reminds us that the music it contains is not innocent. Each track carries within it both memory and prophecy, fusing nostalgia with catastrophe. This work is less an object than an atmosphere: a place where ruin becomes rhythm, where despair wears a mask of festivity, where the end of the world keeps spinning at 45 revolutions per minute.
Báizhǐ Yùndòng
Five paper lamps , different dimensions 40 - 60 - 80 cm
This work draws inspiration from the White Paper Movement (Báizhǐ Yùndòng) in China, where a blank sheet of paper became a powerful symbol of resistance. What appears empty is in fact full: it speaks of everything that cannot be spoken, of words silenced before they can be written. The installation takes the form of paper lanterns, painted with scenes reminiscent of idealized classical Chinese landscapes. Within these landscapes, figures exchange white sheets of paper that drift down from the sky. Yet, overhead, drones hover, seeking to intercept and control what passes between hands. By placing these fragile papers at the heart of a poetic scene, the work becomes a meditation on freedom of expression. It reminds us how even the simplest gesture, a sheet of white paper, can appear dangerous to authoritarian regimes; and how silence itself can become a language of resistance.
