Description of my idea ——ISOLATION

Key words: Isolation, Memory, Public, Interaction

Isolation exists around us, even it is a important part of our life. Isolation can be misunderstanding, border, gap, wall…make people have a sense of distance even though face to face. However, it is not totally dark, people still can know the feel each other.

On the other hand, isolation is not only a gap but also a wonderful thing, because it stands for something unknown or mysterious, like a secret. People always curious about the things that they do not know, even if it is may be dangerous. Exploration is exciting, sometimes it is can be a big surprise.

In my mind, isolation is a kind of feeling, not a specific thing, sometimes we can not know what happened, only can see the result of insolation, we misunderstand, we curious, we feel confuse and excite. So I want to do an installation, which can show the two sides of “Isolation” to public. It can bring feeling of two sides of isolation to the public. It can remind the public’s memory of isolation. May be the public will give the installation a feed back what they are feeling and how they think about isolation.
