.lesson 3: appearance

I saw..

Trees grow on the wall,on the window frames and even dead on

the pipes on the wall. Words, symbol, dirty are found on the

walls. Signboards, advertisements and flyer notices are put

on the walls outside the buildings.Loss of some fragments of

glass windows.pipes leaning on the walls.

Why..

they are so eager to get out?

Maybe..

because its nearly full inside,lots of families,too

much pressure,too many furnitures...

inspired by..

on of the saying that “because the city has used up all

available space, the only safe within the space is the

safety deposit box.” from one of the chapter of the book

“About Looking” by John Berger in 1980.I decided to do an

exhibition in the safety deposit box and this will be the

3rd lesson of my 3 lessons for this project.

The concept..

The inner space is not longer spacious. Although the only

space that now we can control is our saftey deposit box ,

we still packed our everyday life making money for living.

“We control our time, but in a uncontrollable way.”

“The only thing that we can count on is our live,

but it is the only thing that we possess.”

(I put a bread and a watch in the safety deposit box.

Bread symbolize life / watch symbolize time.

people earning money for making life.)
