Waiting
2022

Performance

At 7:21 on October 27th, I took the first bus at Guangzhou Railway Station to start my performance art. It ended at Huangcun Station at 19:13. The act lasted nearly 12 hours. I took 11 buses, crossed six districts for a total of 155km, recorded videos of 91.3G, and drew 31 sketches of passengers.

This project was inspired by "isolated solitude". The drama Waiting for Godot enabled me to immerse in creative thinking. Human beings are always in the imaginary hope, unaware of the reality that "waiting for hope will be in vain" . I chose performance art to create a purposeless and hopeless waiting, during which I tried to emphasize the process of waiting as much as possible and eliminate the purpose of waiting.
