About Blings Umetniška Instalacija

Tako kot Walk of Fame v Los Angelesu v ZDA sta bila Xiamen Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Coast zgrajena za dogodek kitajskega filmskega festivala Golden Rooster, na katerem so predvsem Blings. Instalacija je postavljena proti ozadju morja, s tlemi mostu kot osnovo, sestavljeno iz 15 Blingov iz nerjavečega jekla, ki temeljijo na lokalnih surovih kamnih kot prototip, ki predstavlja popolnost kot polna luna. Na tleh so vstavljene talne svetilke, ki ponoči dodajo sijaj z lučmi v notranjosti Blings, ki prikazujejo prizor briljantnih in bleščečih zvezd.

Production Technology
316L anti-corrosion stainless steel is tinted and polished repeatedly to form a strong contrast of texture ultimately, which not only reflects the texture of stone itself, but also shows the spirit of artistic creation.
Design Challenge
Uncertainty about whether it will be accepted by the public in the initial stage of conception. The harmony and unity in dimensions between the commemorative works and the comfort of involvement for people. The brilliance of Blings is manifested with the material of stainless steel, achieving a perfect unity between material and content.
Research
The stars of human society and the stars in the universe share the same law of generation and operation. However brilliant a star may be, it will perish in the end. Emptiness is the essence of all things. Therefore, Blings are hollowed out, representing a profound implication of the emptiness of all things. This is also the universe outlook on heaven, earth and human to be expressed by the works.
Inspiration
The Avenue of Stars hanging over the sea is like the Milky Way in the vast universe. Blings is the main installation of project assemble the stars in the universe, Xiamen is an island in the sea, the installation site was once a fishing village in the history, surrounded by rocks. The Blings inherited the historical memory of the piece of land.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2022 in Xiamen and finished in November 2022 in Xiamen.
Operation Flow
With a maximum height of 2.3m of the Blings, while ensuring safety, the public can have a close view and lean against the Blings for an intimate interaction. The palm prints of film stars are engraved on surface of Blings. In every upcoming film festival, stars and artists from home and abroad will leave their palm prints here. This permanent installation will witness the passage of time. Lamps are placed in the hollowed stones to add radiance with the floor-lamps outside, just like stars and dots in the universe.
