Sanded Steps, Standing Over Stones - 300-Word Statement

Sanded Steps, Standing Over Stones is a live art work that rethinks ‘trace’ and ‘event’ in historical––and ongoing aporetic––situations that become self-effacing and unhappening. It uses self-effacing gestures such as the sweeping of sand, and audience participation in enunciating found-words from texts and slogans, to trace cultural revolutions and social demonstrations from May ’68 to Occupy––and asks whether such events insist or desist in happening today.This item contains a 300-word statement outlining the research project.

《沙化阶梯，石上站立》是一部现场艺术作品，它重新思考了历史和持续存在的辩证情境中的‘痕迹’与‘事件’，这些情境逐渐变得谦卑而虚无。作品运用了谦卑的姿态，如扫沙动作，以及观众参与从文本和标语中提取发现的词语，以追溯自1968年五月革命至占领运动的文化变革和社会示威。它质问此类事件是否在今天仍然坚持发生或拒绝发生。本项包含一个概述研究项目的300字陈述。
