Lie Down
Aug. 2021Interactive Experience | Physical Installation
Lie Down is an interactive installation experience, aiming to show the living status of a group of young people in contemporary Chinese society and the dilemma they face. Those people are called 躺平青年, refering to people who slack off and enjoy a low-desire life.
Faced with the competitive social environment, have you ever considered giving up and becoming a lying-down person? More and more young people choose to do that: they succumb to vicious social competition and refuse to struggle. However, under the influence of material desire and the atmosphere of group effort, can you really give up everything without being disturbed by others?
The work creates a binary choice environment for the audience: when facing the turbulent water droplets, will you choose to continue to lie down, or will you start to work hard for a better living environment?
