Intimacy Surveillance



Real-time Video Installation; Fridge; Infrared Camera; 2022


In “Intimacy Surveillance”, an infrared camera is placed in a fridge at 5 °C within a former military building in Marin Headlands, California, USA. Viewers are asked to open the fridge to enable the camera to capture the temperature change of their body. The moving heat is recorded in real time and the resulting visual footage is streamed through a monitor on top of the fridge. Hence the viewers can interact with the camera and interactively contribute to the piece.

Can I Go to Your House to Sweep the Floor?

Can I Go to Your House to Sweep the Floor? provided door-to-door cleaning services to female residents of Lianshi using robotic vacuum devices. The robots learn the layout of these domestic locations, building memories of ‘home’. When transferred to the exhibition environment, the robots clean according to their remembered domestic service. Displaced from their familiar setting, crashing into one another they vocalize their sense of loss and confusion in an anguished “I can’t find my way home, come to help me.”
