The pure land

Yuxiang Li & Haoyun Liu / China

In today’s hustle of the city, people are busy and anxious, the heart is difficult to have a pure land of the soul. With the development of urban life, environmental pollution is serious and nature is greatly destroyed. People yearn for “clean” life, in a clean and comfortable environment also need to clean the heart.

 Creative elements: Using various elements from traditional Chinese culture, cranes: Cranes have a lofty position in Chinese culture, symbolizing noble and clean character. Lotus leaf: indicates the meaning of clean. Moire: a symbol of ascension and wishful thinking.

Among them there are six like silk ribbon road. Each road represents mountains and streams, desert oases, jungles and fields, rivers and lakes, polar glaciers and stars and clouds.

Purify “purple-self”

Yuan Li / China

Ecological tree aims to show that ecosystem is a living organism with integral characteristics. Sunflower lamp represents sunlight and provides sunlight for the ecological tree. Sunflower leaves are simplified as switches with sunlight on the left and rain on the right. Ecological trees absorb rainfall water to grow and become recreational places for human recreation. You don’t have to cut down trees to get all-natural “plant chairs”.

Human Nature

Keawalee Warutkomain / Thailand

 This project is a long journey of collecting and sharing memories about relationship of Human and Nature. The two dashes in-between Human and Nature represents an equation of ‘relationship’, as there are two agents, both side has their own answer how to respond to one another. Challenging with the ‘human-nature’ as we know. With Deep Ecology, one recognise the inherent value of all living beings. A deep questioning that reconnect one with nature, whether it’s small or big, in the city or the countryside. Asking one to stop, observe and re-evaluate how a small act in everyday life could make a great impact to ecosystem.

Objectives

1. To create a sharing session of deep listening experience where audience can be embraced in visual and
sound of various ‘connecting to nature’ memories that might awake their owns.
2. To raise awareness about ‘sustainability’ and how human and nature impact each other
3. To break biases: not judging a book by its cover. Everybody is ‘a human book’, full of inspiring memories.

Process Or Methods

Currently in a research phrase, collecting data with interview.

A collaborative documentary with various visual artists and sound designers, exploring interrelationship of sound and visual, using ‘devised theatre’ approach in creative collaboration. The structure will emphasise the experience of ‘talking stick’ and ‘deep listening’, one story end and the next one came in their own pacing.

This audio soundscape by Wardphan Diloksamphan is one of the possibility we are exploring, a kind of floating concept teaser for what the project might evolve into with an abstract visual that encourage audiences to fill the gab in their heads. This selective subject shared her moment of reconnecting with nature through meditative sounds during her time in hospital.

Human_Nature will be a long artistic-based research project that I will gradually form a team and build up a platform to share parts of interview text that are inspiring, focusing on Thais with various backgrounds. After getting a handful of interview materials, I and my sound design partner will make a script and start collaborating with other artists emphasising on letting them express their ‘impression’, as minimal as possible to still leave a room for audience to sink in their minds.

Inspiration

The idea came to me after joining a sharing session of a BA Creative Textile class under a ‘sustainability’ topic. Leaded by Kamonnart Ongwandee, an aspiring fashion and textile designer with a passion to solve social issues with sustainability principles, she asked the two questions; ‘Any experience that you feel connected with nature the most?’ and ‘How do you define ‘Sustainability’?’; then everybody took their turn to share their stories, including me. The process of sharing and deep listening are both crucial and very awaken those hidden memories one might have with nature. I would like to share and expand this experience with other people, with a believe that it could ignite a new ‘perspective’ of Human connection
to nature and why sustainability is important.
