Seasons, 2016
Seasons is an interactive, site-specific installation utilising the space of the Safehouse (London). This work explores the intimate space and energy that surrounds us – our physical bodies as well as our spirits. The installation consists of an empty room with one window, a once-shiny birdcage (with its floor removed) hanging from the ceiling, and a narrow wooden bench sitting in the corner. Music plays on loop during the exhibition – its source hidden. Visitors were invited to interact with the space, sound and material elements within the space.
Music (18’51”) played on loop:
阿嬤彈鋼琴
Pina Bausch performance, Seasons march
Dead Can Dance, Song of the Stars
Jun Miyake, Lillies of the Valley
Lyrics from “Song of the Stars” by Dead Can Dance (Pina Bausch version)
We are the stars which sing
We sing with our light
We are the birds of fire
We fly over the sky
Our light is a voice
We make a road for the spirit to pass over
For the spirit to pass over
We are like the wind
Wrapped in luminous wings
We make a road for the spirit to pass over
For the spirit to pass over
