Conceived for the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (Reliving the City), Apartment E – Shenzhen has been realized as a full-scale reconstruction of the artist’s apartment using traditional bamboo scaffolding techniques. Drawing from a building method used for centuries—seen in projects as historic as the Great Wall of China and still widely practiced in Hong Kong today—the installation translates a personal domestic space into a culturally embedded construction language.
The resulting structure invites viewers to enter and move through a porous, skeletal environment, where architectural memory is reinterpreted through material tradition. By merging contemporary living space with time-honored craft, the work creates an immersive experience that bridges past and present, private and collective space.
