A touring project since COVID-19
Moonment is an ongoing touring installation project that aims to showcase along waters. Inspired by a Chinese ancient poem “海上生明月,天涯共此时” by Tang poet Zhang Jiu Lin, this work describes a surreal and poetic night-sea view that resonates with people of different locations. Aluminum sheets and programmed fans create a live moving percussive environment of waves. In the middle hangs a heart-shape moon, where a driven tick hits making physical beating sounds, concurrently with the below metallic moving waves. People see the moon and hear the sound, thereby connect to those they love beyond distances and times.
