Weina Li (2024)
Dates of residency: Term 4：6/10~7/5 2024
Weina Li’s practice drew inspiration from scientific theories and employed technology to create immersive, interactive sculptures, installations, and videos that sparked scientific curiosity and evoked a sense of wonder. She was deeply inspired by the vastness of nature and the universe, reflecting the profound depths of human consciousness. Through travel, scientific research, and physical exploration, her work sought to capture both the ephemeral fragility and the beauty of human existence. Her aim was to guide audiences into new and uncharted territories, providing a space to explore insights beyond their usual boundaries.
During this residency, Weina captured the ephemeral nature of passing hours, creating a digital illusion to extend their presence. By documenting a tree bathed in daylight, Li projected its shadow as night fell, transforming the desire for the day to linger into a shadow itself. Inside the house, she recorded sunlight streaming through the windows, later reimagining it as a mapped projection at night – an artificial recreation of the sun’s gentle glow. Additionally, Li documented the moon from the previous evening, using video mapping to cast its image onto the surface of Lake Saiko.
