From PHOTODUST:
They have always been glittering, since my dad was a mathematician
Using me to subtract wisdom teeth, he got a ducky
He taught me to say, “ga ga ga” while here people say, “quack quack quack”
Whatever, language doesn’t matter
They are like eggs, as the platform of happening
There might be some news, might or might not
I’ve decided to adopt them
Illuminate them with my heat
Fostering them
Combing out their hair
Silently flaunting them in front of some big water, like a lake or ocean
Baby them, as well as making them older
Tick tock, tick tock
I’ll keep them a secret, until they become an enigma
And taste like birthdays
Yixuan Pan is an artist who was born and raised in the land of fish and rice: Hunan, China. To deal with issues of translation and communication as well as reimagining the western hegemony through a global outlook, her anti-disciplinary practice merges multiple media and modes of presentation, such as installation, video, performance, lollipop, music therapy, choral conducting, and more. By dislocating language from its context and form, Pan questions the linguistic structures people learn and unlearn in relation to comfort, temperature, transparency, hierarchy and power dynamics.
