SHE / HE in the Café

Colour pen, acrylic · Inside pages 21 × 21 cm, packaging 21.5 × 21.5 × 0.2 cm·2021

A book packaged and arranged as a vinyl record, consisting of nine individual illustrations and an outer packaging shaped like a vinyl record. The images recorded interesting conversations between strangers that I have heard in cafés. These conversations form absurd scenes in my mind, like a story from another world.

Additionally, I found that these conversations have some common ground. They all carried a certain sense of anxiety. Therefore, my paintings adopt a little stream of consciousness, highlighting a kind of absurdity.

The appearance of the vinyl record aims to guide people to listen to the stories and feel the emotions of the talking guys in the pictures.
