作品源于最近都在做的一些小型茶室搭建的实践。看到场地后艺术家的第一反应还是可以做一个小的茶室在水上森林中,具体施工希望借助当地普通工人用混凝土、土法放大复制出艺术家自己用纸板做的模型。有尺寸偏差,水平、垂直,但各种细节问题都不是问题,也不用太过标准。至于底部悬空结构也通过当地施工设想方案而实现。室内有一面镜子用于反射树木的无限空间。
This artwork is rooted in the artist’s recent practice of erecting small teahouses in various settings. After viewing the site, the artist’s first reaction was to propose a small teahouse in the aquatic forest, with local laborers using simple materials and techniques to recreate a model the artist rendered in cardboard. There would be deviations in dimensions and levels, but the details would not matter. The building would not need to follow strict standards. Even the base of the structure would be devised and realized by the local construction team. Mirrors inside the structure would reflect an endless forest space.
