Exhibition plan presented in Diplomatic Apartments
Exhibition name: 14 days


The exhibition plan is to stay at Diplomatic Apartment No. 12 for 14 days. this period of life, the creative process and the resulting works are the planning goals. The artist does not leave the apartment within 14 days, and daily life such as eating, drinking and living are all inside apartment.The creative plan is inspired by the 14-day isolated living, and the creative process is also carried out in the apartment space. During 14 days, he creates works with  inspiration derived from the communication with the indoor living space and objects and presented the result of the dialogue and coexistence between the artist and space, time, objects in the diplomatic apartment which has a special historical and realistic definition. In the 14-days closed communication, the choice of interact with outside is very limited for myself. During the implementation of this plan, I hope to see whether there is room for maneuver when the scope of action is strictly defined. What kind of objects and images can be produced, this may also be a work produced under extreme  secure mode. In the case where the physical space is limited, the space in front of you becomes the only world. During this time, the objects you see are repeated or even boring. Repeated viewing and experience may make possible for people to concentrate and  meditate.To test how much endurance and how likely it is to express as an individual's information sensing resource is limited, the experience it brings is complicated and unpredictable, which is also the direction this plan wants to try.

Rules for the implementation of the plan: the artist must be in the designated space fully, and the limited scope of activities is a prerequisite that must be observed. Except for special circumstances, the creator has no reason to leave the space. In that14 days, artist can only live with the apartment space and all the objects in the space. These are also the basis for the creation of the work. The artist can freely use the objects in the space as the role in the work.

Planned working state and conditions: store14 days of drinking water, food and essential daily necessities for 1 person 

Prepare related working supplies and materials, including Wi-Fi, computers, (scanners, printers and printing consumables, etc., this part of the equipment can also be exempted and will be sent to the printing shop for processing after the creative period  ends), storage devices, and Frame camera, tripod, shooting lighting equipment and accessories, camera, several display screen.

Planned final works and presentation status: All works presented in the exhibition were produced within 14 days under the above specific conditions, including all texts. The types of work and presentation methods is limited. Photography is the most likely as the main subject of works. Images and words are used as auxiliary presentations in the form of text (including dairy of daily life and creative work). The living space and state are used as the scene will be kept during the exhibition. The final presentation comprises of three parts, the creation site  (including traces of daily life and the shooting site), the creative process (video images and words documents, sketches, etc.) and the main part of the work-photography.

After the 14-day working period ends, the photographic works are sent to the printing company, and after produced they are presented in the space according to the design of the exhibition and the text materials such as video, text are presented as required. The set-up time is 3-6 days.

呈现于外交公寓的展览方案
展览名: 14天

展览方案是在外交公寓12号入住14天,在这期间生活、创作过程和由此产生的作品为计划目标。作者在14天期间内足不出户,饮食起居等日常生活均在公寓空间内,创作计划灵感来自这14天封闭的生活,创作过程也在公寓空间内进行。14天内与室内生活空间、物品交流中获得灵感产生作品,呈现作者与外交公寓这个具有特别历史和现实定义的空间、时光、物品对话共存的结果。在14天的封闭式的交流中,对自身来说对外交往的对象选择是非常有限的,在这个计划的实施过程中希望看到在行动范围被严格限定的情况下是否有回旋空间,能产生什么样的物像,这可能也是在极端安全模式下产生的作品。在物理空间被限定的情况下,眼前的空间变成唯一的世界,这段时间内所看到的外界物是重复的甚至是无聊的,重复观看和体验或许会使人获得专注和冥想的可能,检测作为个体的信息感受资源受限的情况下有多大的承受力和能产生多少表达的可能性,由此带来的经验是复杂的和难以预料的,这也是这一计划希望尝试的方向。

计划实施的规则:创作者必须全时段全身心进入指定的空间内,活动范围被限定是必须遵守的前提条件,除特殊情况外,创作者没有理由离开空间。14天内与创作者共同生活的只能是公寓空间和空间内的所有物品,作品产生的依据也只能是公寓空间极其物品,创作者可以随意支配空间中的物品成为作品中的角色。

计划中的工作状态与条件:储存供1人14天内基本的饮用水、食物和必备的生活用品。

准备好相应的创作用品和材料,包括Wi-Fi、电脑、(扫描仪、打印机和打印耗材等,这部分设备也可免去,在创作期满后统一送打印店处理)、存储设备、中画幅照相机、三脚架、拍摄照明设备及附件,摄像头、显示屏幕若干。

计划中的最终作品及呈现状况:展览中呈现的所有作品均在上述特定条件下14天内产生的,包括所有文本。作品的类型和呈现方式可选范围是有限的,摄影作为作品的主体可能性是最大的,影像和文字类型以文本(包括每天的生活和创作日志)的方式作为辅助呈现,生活空间和状态作为现场在展览期间继续保留。最终呈现方式是三个部分的内容,创作现场(含日常生活痕迹及拍摄现场)、创作过程(影像和文字记录草图等)以及作品主体部分——摄影。

14天创作期结束后,摄影作品送交输出公司,输出后和按展览设计呈现于空间中,影像文字等文本材料按要求合理呈现。布展时间为3-6天。
