Curiouser & Curiouser
Grew up in in the mountain called “Guia”, it does sound like Mel is a savage in the remote mountain, but in fact Macao itself is very small, and the mountains are not high at all. In her opinion, the ports were used for trade, thus, making the coastal area mainly for themerchants. The locals, if they were not doing trade, would then choose the & quot; inland& quot; as their residence.
In 2019, every ball in " Curiouser and Curiouser " has its own story on the body, theyrepresent the story of the people living around the Guia. This time, the balls are arranged in acalm way, a sea of clouds, creating a layer, a layer that Alice wants to breakthrough.Alice's story is to encourage readers to stay curious and continue exploring explorationin their world or their mind. This time, from the first floor, the installation could be seen as thesea of clouds formed by woodblock prints and traditional Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns, but theaudience will also be able to see a long ladder penetrating the clouds from the below to the sky.
Making the road—from below to above step by step. There is also another kind of point of viewfeeling when slowly going down the elevator through the clouds and reach the bottom floor.You can see people underneath watching the clouds lazily and wondering…“Which way I ought to go from here?”
“Where there’s a way, there’s an opportunity”, is my answer. “Let’s explore.”
