相请不如偶遇
2015、2019
Introduction
Etiquette is a half-hour experience for two people in a public space. There is no-one watching, other people in the cafe are not aware of it. You wear headphone which tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned to the side. There is a kind of magic involved – for it to work you just need to listen and respond accordingly. Some say it’s good to do this with someone you know, someone to share this with. Others say it works well with a stranger.
Etiquette exposes human communication at both its rawest and most delicate and explores the difficulty of turning our thoughts into words we can trust. A young girl and an old man lead the participants into several micro-situations, often borrowed from film or theatre, wherein the private worlds shared between two people split and reform incessantly.
Etiquette offers the fantasy of speaking with someone without having to plan what you say, and the resulting thrill of disowning responsibility in a performance situation. Conversation is shown to be a kind of theatre whereby ‘audience’ and ‘actor’ roles are imperceptibly assumed and exchanged.

《相请不如偶遇》
2015、2019
作品介绍 ：
相请不如偶遇是两个人在公共场所里半小时的体验。没有人看你，咖啡馆里的不会意识到你们在做什么。你戴上耳机，耳机会告诉你应该对对方说什么，或者使用桌上的道具。这体验中有一种魔力—而您只需倾听并做出相应的反应即可。有人说，与您认识的人一起做这件事会很好，因为可以与他们分享。也有人说和陌生人一起做效果也不错。
相请不如偶遇 揭示了人类交流的最原始和最微妙之处，并探讨了将我们的想法转化为我们可以信任的语言的困难。一位年轻女孩和一位老人带领参与者进入几个微观情境，这些情境通常借自电影或戏剧，在这些情境中，两个人共享的私人世界不断分裂和重组。
相请不如偶遇提供了和人交谈但无需计划要说什么的幻想，以及由此产生的在表演情境中推卸责任的快感。对话是一种戏剧，”观众 “和 “演员 “的角色在不知不觉中被承担和交换。
