MORE THAN JUST WIND

More Than Just Wind is a response to a performance that explores the practice of stacking stones. The performance intentionally intercepts the sense of sight and sound of the performer during it's process. This exploration stems from Ng's living environment in Singapore, where spaces (both physical and online) become saturated with advertising and digital immediacy. Space for self reflection becomes seemingly smaller, and bodily senses and awareness turns dull. This performance explores the creation of intentional isolation, in attempts to realign the body from overstimulation experienced through excessive exposure to media. The work delves into the tension and reflection towards the subtle dialogue between thought and action.

As a response to this performance, More Than Just Wind emerged in the form of prints. Each print, created from the stones used in the performance, serves as a residual mark of awareness. The work becomes an impression of texture, touch and visualization between the performer and the object, highlighting the presence and absence felt during and after the performance. These impressions are not just records of form, but echoes of moments suspended in time, inviting introspection into the spaces between action and stillness, effort and surrender.
