When you enter a defined space, what will you do? I would intuitively try to open a door and go through the exit of the space, mentally and physically. When the door opened, I would enter another space, which can be redefined or not be defined, or noting to do, just enjoys the export landscape. Any character or object in this work, the balls, the slimes, the chairs, the performer, the space, can be exchanged by each other, and contained each other. Background Ivy: The first time I met Ivy, I told her that she was like the little spirit. I asked if she would like to be my model and she agreed without hesitation. The second time we met, I invited her to be the model of my work, which witnessed how accurately the spirit understood the space and expressed it through her performance. Sit Down: Carlo's Red Space Project was looking for artists to recreate the space. When I entered this space, the first person that popped up in my mind was Ivy. Fenni and I have kept in contact through video calls. We have more video calls during the covid19. A lot of my video is cooperating with Fanny’s sounds. When she shearing her latest sound work to me, though I couldn’t hear it clearly, I told her that it was perfect the sound for my latest video work. After I edited it to my video and sent it back to her, she agreed it was a perfect match.
