Capitolo primo. L’astratta qualità del ricordo. (2016/2017).
Installazione site specific al Museo Civico Villa dei Cedri per la mostra "In(de)finiti luoghi".
Ticino, Svizzera.
Chapter one. The abstract quality of remembrance. (2016/2017)
Site specific installation at Villa dei Cedri Museum for the exhibition "In(de)finiti luoghi".
Ticino, Swizterland.
The specific idea that a room’s true beauty is in the empty space within the roof and walls came from Laozi, a philosopher and the founder of Taoism, who held to the "aesthetic ideal of emptiness", believing that the mood should be captured in the imagination, and not so heavily dictated by what is physically present. Japanese design is based strongly on craftsmanship, beauty, elaboration, and delicacy. The design of interiors is very simple but made with attention to detail and intricacy.
Impermanence is a strong theme in traditional Japanese dwellings. The size of rooms can be altered by interior sliding walls or screens, the already mentioned shōji (paper screens). Cupboards built smoothly into the wall hide futon, mattresses pulled out before going to bed, allowing more space to be available during the day.
The minimal decoration also alters seasonally, with a different calligraphy scroll hanging or new flower arrangement.

Ambling out of Jaisalmer train station in late morning, we were immediately accosted by the throngs of drivers – mostly working for specific hotels – who were trying to pick us up. Since I’d booked a room at the Roop Mahal, this wasn’t an issue. It took a minute to find the guy, but he was there to drive us the whole 1-2 km to the hotel, which was at the base of the fort on the west side.
The biggest reason to come to Jaisalmer, the Golden City (since most places are primarily built of sandstone) is to see the fort, which is on a bit of a hill overlooking an otherwise flat desert. As it’s in the desert, the temperatures in the day, even in late September, were close to 40 degrees Celsius (a little over 100F).
According to Lonely Planet India, the fort was built in 1156 by the Rajput ruler Jaisal and reinforced by subsequent rulers. It “was the focus of a number of battles between the Bhatis, the Mughals of Delhi and the Rathores of Jodhpur.”
Nowadays, it’s a living fort. Jaisalmer Fort has plenty of residents, restaurants, souvenir stands, havelis (old-style housing with ornate architecture: carved stone doorways, lattice screens, balconies, and turrets). The havelis are often hotels now, and almost every hotel here has a rooftop restaurant to enjoy the surrounding view. Our hotel, the Roop Mahal, also had a rooftop restaurant where I ate a few times. The food was…not great, but certainly not bad.
In addition to the havelis, there are also quite a few temples. Specifically, there are seven Jain temples (that you can tour for 150 rupees/15 RMB/$2.50USD). These temples were visually quite attractive inside – some more than others – and also had plenty of worshippers coming in and out. I was impressed by the intricacy of the details and sandstone carving, the intimacy of the art, and the way natural light was used in the temples. I don’t believe tripods were allowed inside the temple, which made a lot of shooting quite difficult, but not impossible. The only other rule is that you have to take your shoes off outside and pay someone (usually about 100 rupee) to “watch” your shoes.
After having a meal in the fort (and, excitedly, finding a spice shop where I bought the first of many Indian spices to bring back to China with me), my travel partner arranged for us to go out to the desert and ride camels. (The hotelier also offered something similar, but was a bit expensive.)
Later in the day, around 5:00, if I recall correctly, a guy came to pick us up at the hotel in a jeep and four of us – me, my travel partner, and two Israeli women – started our drive out to Sam, about 50 km west of Jaisalmer (and less than 100 km – maybe less than 50 – from the Pakistani border to the west).
En route, we had to make a few required stops (per our drivers). The first place was so forgettable that I can’t even recall the name of it or what it was. The second place was just to see a small village (really, two buildings) and a whole lot of kids running up to you begging for money in exchange for pictures.
After that, we finally made it out to the desert, where we rode camels for about half an hour and then stopped at a rather random place where we were eventually given a home-cooked Indian meal, vegetarian, that consisted of dal, naan, and a few curries. It was delicious, and had to be eaten completely in Indian style (no utensils of any kind).
While watching the sunset and the subsequent moonrise, we eventually bade our Israeli friends farewell (as they were spending the night in the desert) and headed back to town. Along the way, I caught a glimpse of a late night cricket match, and it was the only time during this trip I’d see that. When we got back to the hotel, we just needed to wait there for an hour or two before they were kind enough to drive us to the train station around 11:00 p.m. so we could catch our midnight train to Jodhpur…the Blue City.

This site-specific video installation is about removing people from their terrestrial urban experience and placing them, for just a few moments, at the zenith of the over and the nadir of the under, which is to say, above the clouds and below the sea.
This installation took place in Harlem, New York, from October 11th, 2012 – October 28th, 2012. It was produced in partnership with Chashama and the New York Foundation for The Arts' Curatorial Program.

Remains of a specific medieval fortress, which was built into four basalt towers, which are the remains of an ancient volcano. It was a guard castle with a large tower, which stood high above the landscape with a great outlook at the delta of Elbe river, an important trade route at that time. The original wooden castle stood at least in the 11th Century, and was modified to a stone castle sometimes in the 12th Century. It was expanded in the late 14th Century, attacked in 1444 and damaged, improvized repairs have been done but in the next year another enemies burned the castle down and killed all the men defending it (they were buried under the castle in a mass grave, which is still there). The castle is mentioned as abandoned in 1515, but the buildings under the core were used until WW2. Most of the stone walls sacked down the hill, creating still visible debris fields, today the basalt towers are pretty well accessible, and it is possible to climb to the highest point and have a beautiful look around the landscape.
SITE SPECIFIC VIDEO PROJECT
In reinterpreting the simple human activity of walking as a filmed event, the STREET WALKS SERIES picks up on the juncture between the real and the potential for staged fictions, as reframed through the cameras lens and asks one to consider the city streets as theatricalised spaces, everyday action as a potent form of performed narrative and the local architecture, a continuous scenography to the daily activities of the general population - Situating the viewer/participant between the boundaries of the personal, the public and the private. Filmed at walking speed from a moving vehicle, a distinct approach to the way the city's topography is conventionally witnessed is generated. Highlighting the characteristics of the urban composition in juxtaposition to the filmed body.
Originally began in Hamburg as part of a scenography for a dance performance, other versions have been produced in Berlin, Hakodate (Japan) and Kuopio (Finland) and have been presented either as outdoor site-specific projections or stand alone installation gallery works.
The process to production is deeply embedded within a socially organized idea where native residents are invited to take a walk as they are filmed. Through such a simple encounter an interesting and diverse set of understandings are seamlessly tapped into, as streets that hold significant memories and historical relationships seem to become the chosen routes and through their screening, a validating exposure of the local environment is produced.
(HGM 1663 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"1401 Empress" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Alexandrite" refers to a famous and desirable type of colored glass that Heisey produced, with neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) as the coloration agent. The color of the glass changes under different lighting conditions.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Alexandrite: 1929-1935. A dichromatic glass showing lavender with ruby tints under natural and incandescent light and a strange green-lavender under fluorescent light. Purportedly Heisey's most expensive production color.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

This specific set of tracks went straight through a wetland. But now that they are no longer in use, nature has taken back over. The low-lying area is flooded almost every month of the year, and even has many small hardwood type trees growing in it.
I have seen everything in this vernal from Spotted Salamander, and Marbled Salamander breeding activity. To Upland Chorus Frogs breeding in it, and even Eastern Painted Turtles occupying it in the warmer months.

Failed attempt for site-specific installation in drought water reservoir near Ardales- El Chorro in South Spain. This beautiful natural scenery is known for its unique rock mountains, rivers and big water reservoirs. I have been travelling in south Spain during January 2022 seeing how dry this region is. I found out that this drought blocks of clay in the bottom of one of the reservoirs serves as construction puzzle-like bricks. My goal was to build an igloo in which I would stay overnight. Igloo as Eskimo traditional architecture transferred to drought landscape was meant to serve as a monument to desertification which is one the effects on climate change. My amateur construction skills and weather conditions spoiled my attempt. I did not have enough energy to retry it as my igloo was on opposite side of the river with liquid sands and I had no more energy to carry tons of clay and repair it.

Franconia Ridge, New Hampshire (7/23/16) - To be more specific, pictured is Little Haystack on our way Mt. Lincoln. We knew the hardest part of the Franconia Ridge Loop was the trail to get to the ridge to begin with! Once on the ridge, the uphills were much more manageable plus you have 360 degrees panoramic vistas to enjoy. We chose to ascend via the Falling Waters trail as per recommendation by a blog. It stated that when facing inclement weather, such as the case later in the day, it's better not to have the wind and rain behind you when descending. Falling Waters trail have steep rocky sections that would've been a nightmare to descend if slippery.
(HGM 2290 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"134 Trident" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Tangerine" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, orangish to orangish-red.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Tangerine: 1932-1935. An orange glass. The glass was struck (reheated) to produce deepening color. Because of this, tangerine can look orange and sometimes almost red. Pressed pieces can exhibit an amberina-type coloration. While oral history indicates this was developed by Olson himself, his records indicate he did get some help!
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.

In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

This intra-specific display is known interchangeably as the piping display (because of the loud calls that accompany it) and the cocked tail display. "All oystercatchers are predominantly monogamous and breed in summer. During the piping courtship display, two birds utter a single piped note while walking, running, or flying closely parallel, turning often. This display may be joined by nearby pairs for a piping "tournament" and is also used as a mate greeting or territorial display" (Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia 2004).
