“Deep Core at the Museum on Top of the Mountain” is a series still in its incipient state, which I have a plan to develop into a larger installation and video work. The idea came from a retrospective association of two dreams I saw in consecutive nights. The first was the dream that I’m pushing up a strange vehicle both resemble to a broken bicycle and roller coaster on a steep mountain. The second is the one that I wonder in a dark museum in its off-hours and find that there is a flood coming out from a closed exhibition room. Later, these two dreams merged and became a motif that I repeat in several works within “A Tragic Bambi. The performance of “Traumatic Encounter Forever!” ends with the museum announcement that required the audience’s evacuation from the museum due to flooding,  Urine Fountain is designate to fit into various occasions, such as your home, office, restaurant, garden, educational environment, public gathering. gallery, museum and performance etc.  It keeps flowing and flowing!
