Vin is a random decision I made right before my journey to the US, in the summer of 2022 when I had to fill a bunch of formats with a blank called “preferred name”.  

Ye is another random decision made by someone else, tracing back to a considerable length of human history. For some irrelevant reason it passed down and became my last name.

Art is one of the few domains where my flaws, weakness and negative experience can be transferred into something valuable

I’m commited to none of the three above.

beef fat, bamboo and casted models, sound installation







I was keeping telling people this work’s about refusing to talk and the refusal of talking. But now I think it’s about endurance. 

It consists of multiple parts. 
A heating plate on the top of it, melting animal fat. 
3 casted objects I made out of a section of bamboo. 
Contact mics inside each of the object, so every time when the fat drop on them, the sound will be picked up. There’s a distinct difference of sound quality between each objects.

On the pedestal is a container used to collect the dripping fat, to make the complete installation a circulation and a gesture of casting. 

The casted objects were made of bone powder and charcoal powder. There was an attempt to present the most of the material quality. Not really surprisingly, the charcoal powder one snaped when installing, then I decided this should be how it is.
