SINING ZHU 

I lie naked on the beach, covered on a “body” that fits with my body, and waiting for the water to wash over me. As sunset falls, the cold causes my uncontrollable body to shiver, breathing, toes rubbing against each other, and my fingers digging into the sand. The performance continued for about three hours until the entire sunset.

By showing the intimacy between man and nature, I metaphor the notion of family to the homeland and the contradiction between privacy and publicness. The video represents my discomfort with nature through my body's unconscious shivering, breathing, and clutching at the sand. As the sun goes down and the sea constantly submerges me, my numb state tries to escape quickly, but my body cannot move. Until the end of the video, only the sculpture remains on the beach, and the sound of the sea is muted. The body's response to nature explains the individual's vulnerability in domestic relationships and the insignificance of the private individual in public areas.

我赤身裸体地躺在沙滩上，盖在一个与我身体契合的 "人体雕塑 "上，等待海水冲 刷我。日落时分，寒冷使我无法控制的身体颤抖，呼吸，脚趾相互摩擦，手指钻进 沙子。这个表演持续了大约三个小时，直到整个日落时分。



通过展示人与自然之间的亲密关系，我将家庭的概念隐喻到家园，以及私密性和公 共性之间的矛盾。这段视频通过我的身体无意识的颤抖、呼吸和对沙子的抓挠来表 现我对自然的不适应。当太阳下山，大海不断淹没我时，我的麻木状态试图迅速逃 离，但我的身体无法移动。直至视频结束，海滩上只剩下雕塑，大海的声音也被压 制住了。身体对自然的反应解释了个人在家庭关系中的脆弱性，以及私人个体在公 共领域的无足轻重。
