Soft Trying柔软的尝试

Soft Trying developed from an earlier sequence of interviews and participant drawings. After each interview, participants were invited to draw how they understood or experienced relocation in their own lives. Selected lines and figures from these drawings were later translated onto the surfaces of the soft forms.《柔软的尝试》由前期访谈与参与者绘画逐渐发展而来。每次访谈结束后，参与者受邀通过绘画呈现自己如何理解或经历迁移。随后，我从这些绘画中选取部分线条与形象，将它们转移到软体形态的表面。

The work begins from a simple field of permitted actions. The forms may be hugged, pushed, squeezed, kicked, balanced or deflated, while sitting and standing on them are excluded. Pressure leaves temporary traces. A form may hold a body, slide away, collapse or slowly recover. The work follows the body's repeated attempts to find a relation that remains changeable.作品从一组简单的允许动作开始：形体可以被拥抱、推动、挤压、踢动、平衡或放气，但不供坐立。压力留下暂时的痕迹。一个形体可能承托身体、滑开、塌陷或缓慢恢复。作品追踪身体反复尝试建立一种持续变化的关系。
