Living Well, Leaving Well
Inspired by the Chinese characters huo dong, where huo is to live, and dong is to move, this project asks participants to rediscover their environment through the aural expression qualities of the familiar and the mundane, and reinvent the meaning of the everyday for themselves.
In the void deck series, seniors come together to exercise physically and exorcise mentally, to enhance and promote synergy, alertness and general well-being.
In the home series, residents are led by anGie to express their personal life stories through sound and voice projections, where the home becomes a sound recording space.
From the void deck to homes of residents, a collective effort to create introspective dialogues through the expression of sound, objects, voices and body gestures is made.
