Creation Note: “I, We 2020” is a site-specific behavioral installation that emerged during the lockdown period of the Shanghai epidemic. It “migrates” a traffic light from a public street into a private residence and hangs it in front of a white wall at home, serving as a silent and absurd self-warning.
The work invites (virtual or a few on-site) viewers to interact with it – to touch, gaze at or breathe along with its rhythm. The lights cycle through red, yellow and green, casting their glow on the empty walls, as if counting down for a gathering that cannot take place. This strongly implies the social connections and flows that were forcibly interrupted that spring.
This work is a poetic excerpt and reconstruction of the outside world by an individual trapped in isolation. It condenses the collective predicament on a macro level into a tense ritual in a private space, documenting the loneliness of an individual in a special historical moment, the yearning for public life, and the persistent confrontation between internal order and external disorder.

创作说明：《我，我们2020》是一件诞生于上海疫情封控时期的特定场域行为装置。它将一枚从公共街道“迁移”入私人居室的红绿灯，悬挂于家中白墙前，成为一种沉默而荒谬的自我警示。
作品邀请（虚拟或少数在场的）观者与之互动——触碰、凝视或随其节奏呼吸。灯光在红、黄、绿间循环，映照在空荡的墙面上，仿佛在为一场无法发生的聚集倒计时，强烈隐喻着那个春天被强制中断的社会连接与流动。
这件作品是困守中的个体对外部世界的诗意截取与重构。它将宏观的集体困境，浓缩为一个私密空间中充满张力的仪式，记录了个体在特殊历史时刻的孤寂、对公共生活的渴望，以及内在秩序与外部失序之间的持久对峙。
