Creation Description: “Temporary Bathroom” is an accidental and collaborative work born in a special context. During the May Day holiday in 2021, the sense of isolation against the backdrop of the epidemic was still spreading. I met an Italian artist at the Chinese folk camp “Longyan”. His “Temporary Bathroom” is a real space that offers body cleansing, and when my foam machine was invited to join in, an unexpected transformation occurred naturally.
When the volunteers were taking a bath, dense foam kept emerging, piling up and flowing, transforming the daily bathing into a ritual full of joy and a sense of absurdity. Foam is not only a clean medium but also a light sculpture that covers the body and blurs the form. At that moment, the work broke away from the preset and was jointly “completed” by artists of different nationalities, unfamiliar volunteers and uncertain interactions.
It documents people’s yearning for connection and purification in the era of the pandemic, becoming a brief yet genuine oasis of collective emotions. Here, art retreats as an opportunity and catalyst, transforming the temporary space into an eternal encounter.

创作说明：《临时浴室》是一件诞生于特殊语境下的偶发与协作作品。2021年五一假期，疫情背景下的封闭感仍在蔓延，我在中国民间营地“龙焰”现场，与意大利艺术家邂逅。他的《临时浴室》是一个提供身体清洁的真实空间，而当我的泡沫机被邀请加入其中，一场超乎计划的转化便自然发生。
志愿者们沐浴时，绵密泡沫不断涌现、堆积、流淌，将日常的洗浴升华为一场充满欢愉与荒诞感的仪式。泡沫既是清洁的媒介，也成为了覆盖身体、模糊形态的轻盈雕塑。作品在那一刻脱离预设，由不同国籍的艺术家、陌生的志愿者与不确定的互动，共同“完成”。
它记录了疫情时代人们对连接与净化的渴望，成为一处短暂而真实的集体情感绿洲。艺术在此退身为契机与催化剂，将临时的空间，转化为永恒的相遇。
