An Archive of Weeds from One Bed/杂草志
MA Visual Communication, Royal College of Art, WIP (Work in Progress) Show
项目介绍/Introduction
Autumn is the season of the weed. I pulled out and killed a bed of weeds. In this short encounter, every weed became a special weed, akin to how the little prince’s rose is different from any other roses. The time I spent with each weed makes each one different from each other.
I created an archive of all the weeds I pulled out that day. After three months, the weeds I discarded in my backyard slowly transformed into compost.
秋天是杂草生长的季节。在秋冬交替之际,我拔掉了一整块地的杂草,为来年春天做准备。短暂的相遇,使每一株杂草都变成了特别的杂草,就像小王子的玫瑰不同于其他的玫瑰一样,我在每一株杂草上浪费的时间使每一株杂草都不同于其他的杂草。
这将所有拔掉的杂草做成了一本小书《杂草志》,三个月后,这些曾经活着的杂草在我的后院变成了堆肥。
