老窗在文革時期被掃蕩,但現在又因其歷史價值、工藝雕縷而變得珍貴,為人所收藏。歷史的見證,現今驀然引人注目。這扇老窗是開是關?其窗上的蠶繭破繭而出之時,是否同時破窗而出?作品探索老窗的命運和身份。
Thousands of old windows were destroyed and burned during the Cultural Revolution, but are now cherished and collected for their historical value and exquisite craftsmanship. The reflection of history becomes a contemporary spectacle. Is the window actually open or closed? For those silkworms and cocoons residing on the window, does the moment when they break from the cocoon equal the one when they break from the window? The work explores the destiny and identity of the old window.
