PALIMPSEST SHENZHEN 

SHENZHEN BI-CITY BIENNALE OF URBANISM / ARCHITECTURE, 2019
INSTALLATION, URBANISM

In Palimpsest Shenzhen, a long, table-like model is suspended in the air, depicting prototypical urban conditions in the city. Starting at the scale of the dining table, we invite visitors to imagine and rewrite the city’s communal spaces together. Using the prepared postcards, visitors are encouraged to explain or draw their aspirations for urban life in Shenzhen. Each postcard represents a citizen’s voice, heard from the bottom-up. Hanging on the table in different compositions, the city becomes inscribed by the inhabitant’s ideas: a palimpsest.

Exhibited at the Futian Train Station as part of the “Eyes of the City” exhibition in Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism / Architecture
