“A series of hollowed-out television sets frame beguiling scenes imagined in Xiangxi’s works, begun while studying sculpture at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art.
Situated in a small creative community in Hei Qiao Cun on the northeastern edge of the city, his studio is littered with second-hand appliances like washing machines, which become the sites of miniature worlds inspired by locations such as his old workspace in Guangzhou, the workers’ dormitory he once lived in, his parent’s sitting room, the interior of a train carriage—even his dream home. They are replicas rendered faithfully, but playfully, often using the cement, brick, glass, stone or paper materials found in their life-sized equivalents.”

We love this wooden slide that is slotted into a combined staircase and bookshelf of a house in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea,

如今我真分不清自己的心是好是坏
我知道事情并不是黑或白，而是灰
可发现我冰冷的手跟大脑串通一气
把我一步一步地推向地狱Now I cannot tell whether my heart is good or bad
I know most things are not black or white, but grey
But I found my cold hands in complicity with my mind
Pushing me step by step into hell
