Impermanent Shadows (Lumen mural) 

Screen shots of the livestream

From 14:00 25th Feb to 14:00 26th Feb, 2021

The lumen mural is an idea developed from the original lumen prints. It intended to invite light reinvention to present the whole fading process of the traces to viewers, in real time and face to face. However, to continue the work during the lockdown in London, it was presented by a 24 hours livestream on YouTube through a phone as a webcam in the virtual show context, intending to show the slowness of change, the accumulation of nuances, and the inevitability of decaying. To some extent, light is both the creator and destroyer of the traces. Due to the traces were gradually fading, the encounter between viewers and the lumen mural would be unique every time.

The livestream recording is not available; it just ‘faded’as the traces of the lumen mural did. The picture is the collection of the screen shots received from the people who watched the live. The screen shots can represent the encounters between the viewers and the lumen mural, and can also be the memento of the traces and the live event, as well as a new life born from the lumen mural.
