Zhazha/Chacha – At the Return of the Gaze is a collection of installation, video, sound, painting, light and performance.

“Zhāzhā” and “Cháchá” are two ways of pronouncing the Chinese name “查查”, and I have created a virtual character “查查”, and simulated the ambiguous meanings of these two ways of pronouncing the name in order to set up two very different subjects, which are in opposition to each other and dependent on each other.

The series Zhazha / ChaCha describes, through a theater-style performance, the tearing that occurs internally in the subject’s friction with the environment and the effect of this tearing on the relationship between the subject and the environment/the other subject.  – At the Return of the Gaze is the first installment of the series.
