About Guo Fan Instalação Artística, Joalheria

Guo Fan é uma instalação artística combinada com joalheria de autor, inspirada na cultura das remessas dos chineses ultramarinos. A obra investiga a história dos habitantes de Chaozhou que partiram para o Sudeste Asiático em busca de sustento. Uma estrutura de fusos interligados em duplo sentido gira continuamente, fazendo com que as cenas históricas se sobreponham sem fim. As peças de joalheria seguem a ideia de fatias da história, e cada peça atribui a quem a usa um papel diferente dentro de uma mesma narrativa. Foram utilizados latão, aço inoxidável, alumínio, resina e acrílico, conformados por corte a laser e impressão 3D.

Design Challenge
The most important and difficult part of this project is to sort out the historical facts of " culture of overseas Chinese remittance " and turn it into an art work to show to people through design, so that people can understand it .
Research
The theme of this project is "culture of overseas Chinese remittance", with the close relationship between Chaozhou wood carving and overseas Chinese remittance as the development line. Through reading and combing a large number of literature and books, fieldwork visits, etc., the inherent cultural stories are unearthed, and the stories are patterned and combined with dynamic installations to tell the memories of overseas Chinese remittance through jewelry. Aiming to pass on and spread Chaoshan culture.
Inspiration
Chaozhou gold lacquer wood carving are typical representatives of Chaoshan culture. Among them, the shrine is an important object of expression of this skill. Furthermore, it is the carrier of Chaozhou clan concept. Chaoshan were adhered to the special traditional culture of both continental and maritime, to make a living in Southeast Asia by Guo Fan. The culture of overseas Chinese remittance links the families at home and abroad, and plays a huge role in the development of their hometowns.
Project Duration

Operation Flow
The installation works by the historical facets of "culture of overseas Chinese remittance" and "Guo Fan" overlap infinitely through the continuous turning of the two-way linkage spindle structure.

And the jewelry is based on the concept of "slices of history", transforming the wearer into the protagonist of the historical fragments and experiencing the story of each slice.When the wearer wears different parts of the jewelry, he or she will be transformed into different roles. They are both in the same slice of historical story.
