Participatory Installation

March 2016

As one of the most iconic toys, a teddy bear can easily evoke private emotions or awakes an innocence side of a person. Having a 6.5-foot giant teddy bear alone in a relatively closed interior space, the audience notices that they were allowed to do whatever they want to the bear — hugging, punching, or anything else. The intention of this piece is to try to evoke the inner world of the audience in a public space, through their various interactions triggered by the bear.

“这是一个参与型装置作品。巨大的泰迪熊被放置在无他人的密闭房间。在这个类私密空间中，参与者可对其做任何互动。作品意在勾起参与者当下内心的私密情绪或相关连的童年回忆。探讨物件、空间与情感之间的联系。
