不深情的演奏

2019

表演，螽斯，铜箔片，亚克力盒子，糖浆

饲养螽斯等鸣虫在中国有着悠久的历史。对于螽斯而言，鸣叫意味着昆虫间的爱情。螽斯的声音是通过震动翅膀实现的。基于这一生理习性，我用无害的糖浆作为粘合剂，在12只螽斯的翅膀上安置不同重量的金属箔片，使它们的翅膀产生不同的震频，从而改变了它们的声调。当这12只螽斯为爱进行演奏时，就多了一丝接近“音乐”的韵味。（表演完毕后，金属薄片会被取下，每一只螽斯至始至终都会得到专业饲养员的照顾）

Unrelenting performance

2019

experimental performance

katydid, copper, acrylic box, suger

Breeding katydids has a long history in China. They are carefully bred by humans because of their beautiful sounds. For katydid, chirping signifies insect love. Katydid makes sound by vibrating its wings. Based on this physiological habit, I used harmless syrup as an adhesive, and placed metal foils of different weights on the wings of 12 katydids, so that the vibration frequencies of their wings were different, thereby changing their tones. When these 12 katydids played for love, there was a touch of "music" charm. (After the performance, the metal sheet will be removed, and each katydid will be cared for by professional breeders from the beginning to the end)
