Zhao Bandi's Hut

Du Xiyun

The bamboo hut, the hammock with mask and the bamboo leaf lawn grow surreally into reality in the art space.

Starting from November 15, 2020, Zhao Handi's Hut has landed in Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, Xiamen, and Shenyang, inspiring the urge to communicate with each other and the curiosity to understand the visual and intimate atmosphere of strangeness, welcoming each "visitor" to open their hearts on the lawn, in the hammock, and in the hut.

The creation of the "hut" originated from Zhao Handi's experience of the world's hearts and minds over the years, and was inspired by his heartfelt experience in early 2020. One person's life on a deserted island and more people's heartfelt feelings intersect in the surreal space and time created by "little hut". Here, everyone forgets the order of the secular world and ascends to themselves in another dimension.

Since 2020, the changes in the world and the era have directly affected the details of everyone's life. The uniqueness of different individuals' living situations, personal experiences and inner feelings. Through the changes of time, place and people, the connotation and extension of "hut" also change subtly. The "hut" provides an opportunity to open up, and the voices released by each person in it are not necessarily single and coherent, but often self-contradictory, incoherent and even lost. ...... Taking place in this small space and time, whether it is noisy or silent, happy or sad, smooth or stumbling, focused or out of focus, the "hut" is gently maintained and preserved, allowing voices of the heart to intermingle and flow into another dimension, which is towards life goals and spiritual desires.

Shunde, He Art Museum, the core cylinder space designed by Tadao Ando, the double spiral stairs, and the dome penetrated by sky light ...... In this quiet, sublime dark gray space, "Zhao Handi's Hut" gently enters, hoping that the multi-part confessions of the crowd will reverberate leisurely.
