Thing (-ing) Collection
This piece is made in tension with the music you hear on the video. This experimental performance is in fact, an action upon the music. The movements of my body and subsequently the movements of the swinging phone hanged from the bridge, adds another layer of sound to the original music. It presents how the environmental elements such as air and the bridge, the music playing on the phone, the movements of my body and the swinging phone are interrelated, and work together to create a multi sensorial experience.

Thing(-ing) is a state of interaction with objects in which the interpretive mind is set aside and things are considered solely by their objectness, materiality, and functional potentials. What is most intended in the process of thing (-ing) is not necessarily to achieve a definite and predetermined result, but is the real and conscious experience of the interaction between mind /body and object/ matter. It is a phenomenological and creative encounter that somehow enables me to be in the moment through physical engagement with objects.
