Sculpture, video

I cultured bacteria and fungi extracted from menstruation on wrinkled grey cloth through bio-tech in order to obtain particularly feminine odours mingling with a sense of domestic passage of time visually in this work which also comprised mixtures of ice and body warm paste in an installation as well as a painting.  The work developed and externalized the vulnerable and complex inner feelings during menstruation from perspectives of vision, olfactory and touch as well as the menstrual paradox of protection and torture to women into a multi sensory space. The work created a meta-sense environment in public by means of bioart to reflect on the hidden trauma in mother-daughter relationships as well as self-identification and situation of women in the context of contemporary society.

作品用了经血的提取物在褶皱的白布上做细菌和真菌培养，以得到一种特殊的女性化 的气味，并在视觉上杂糅着家庭化的时间流逝感；还包括含有冰和暖贴的复合装置以及一幅画。本作品使用了生物技术的手段，通过嗅觉、触觉和视觉以及空间感来表达并发展女性经期脆弱和复杂的感受以及月经本身对女性既是保护又是摧残的矛盾存在，来反思母女关系中被压抑的痛感和女性在当下社会语境中的自我认知和存在状态。
