Project overview：

“Art Project at the Site of Zhuantang Dismantling Area” is a participatory art project initiated by Wang Ziyue which is a combination of young artists working in Zhuantang Town, Hangzhou. This project aims to promote young artists to participate more actively and explore practical issues in the public domain.During the creative process, the artist constantly pays attention to、thinks and discuss how to adhere to the complex and in-depth ideology into the demolition， how to relate to the local residents and the local ecological environment， how to retell and activate the demolition of the waste market , etc. At the same time, I hope that this is a linked action. In the process, people from different identities can be joined to imagine, go through production, and practice a reproduction of a different relationship.

D Social theater “ Floating Life in Crevice " (2014.3-2014.6)

Theme: I invited a group living in buildings awaiting demolition to re-enact their lives in fact this is not “acting”, this is them doing what they do in everyday life: going to work during the day, chatting after dinner, keeping accounts at night. This building has three floors with three rooms each, and each room becomes a stage. They treat the building as a way station, rehearsing their lives in each room, taking turns to perform. Aside from documentary-like sections, the video also contains rooms that can only be peeked into. Through the peephole, only abstract forms of touch, sound, shadows and crawling, in all their theatricality, can be seen. These anonymous individuals take on a more secretive state within the private space.

Those who have left the countryside carry about their unfamiliar urban life in a way that is neither of the city nor of the village. They are constantly changing between different areas of labor, wandering inside and outside the factory, getting smothered by information from mass media, adding in all kinds of new experiences and forging together some from of social life in a period of transition between the city and the countryside.

Participants entered the ruins of the demolition area, or reconstruct their imagination of the past through various forms of artistic creation, or reflect on the impact of blind development and over-modernization on individual memory.In the future, I hope to continue to focus on more complex and diversified social issues. Based on our historical coordinates, I try to make a broader and in-depth discussion and creation of public life based on the historical view and horizontal geography.
