About Tear and Discover 예술 설치
'찢고 발견하다(Tear and Discover)'는 스피커, 플로어 램프, 시계, 선풍기 등 네 가지 생활용품으로 구성된 예술 설치 작품이다. 각 사물은 가죽으로 완전히 감싸여 있어 소리, 빛, 시간, 공기의 흐름이 모두 감추어져 있다. 기능을 사용하려면 관람객이 직접 가죽 커버를 잘라내야 한다. 가죽과 그에 부착된 라벨은 상품의 상징적 가치를 나타내는 반면, 그 안에 감춰진 부품들은 사용 가치를 제공한다. 모든 커버는 1.5mm 두께의 식물성 태닝 가죽을 손으로 성형하여 제작했으며, 스테인리스 스틸 지지대로 고정되었다. 이 작품은 소비 행위 속에서 기호와 기능의 관계에 대해 질문을 던진다.

- Unique Properties
- The work consists of four household products, speaker, floor lamp, clock, and fan, which are covered inside the leather. The leather and labels represent the symbolic value of the goods, while the functional components inside the leather deliver the use-value. This design emphasizes the contradiction between sign and function in the product consumption through a destructive interaction to 'cut' the signed cover and liberate the function.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- speaker,345*345*1427mm
floor lamp,372*305*1930mm
clock,455*140*100mm

- Production Technology
- This work uses the leather wet shaping craft, the leather surface and stainless steel support form a strong visual tension. The whole set of products is all made of 1.5mm whole vegetable-tanned leather. After soaking for 8 hours, awakening the active protein of the leather and giving the leather better ductility. After it is wrapped on the shaping mold and shaped by hand, giving the product shapes a soft curve and organic sense.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part of this design is the expression of the mindset.
Firstly, how to express the idea through the design language? After many times discussion, The use of metaphorical forms of wrapping, highlighting and rupture, and contradictory interactions were confirmed.
Secondly, how to shape the leather into the form? This step took many material tests and prototypes before the final form was created. - Research
- The work have taken the‘Consumption society’ as our research direction and the commodity as the object for our project. The design want to discuss the relationship between symbol, function, and commodity and reflected on the design. Through research the design aim to express the contradiction between symbolic value and use-value of products in the consumer society where signs are proliferating.
- Inspiration
- Living in the current era of consumption, symbolic consumption has gradually changed our mindset of on-demand consumption, and the functions of products have been obscured by the virtual signs created by capital. The endless pursuit of the sign has accelerated the waste of material. Therefore the work rethought the relationship among signs, functions, and design.
- Project Duration
- The project starts in November 2020 in Shanghai and is completed in 2021 in Shanghai, where it will be exhibited in June.
- Operation Flow
- The work covered by leather, functions are hidden inside——the sound is obscured, the light is covered, the time is hidden, the wind is blocked, in order to use the functions, the user needs to cut the leather through destructive interactions and destroy the complete leather the user's thoughts will be aroused during the interaction.
