Edge Tissue investigates how a collective of bodies negotiates systemic pressure through digital embodiment. Combining 3D animation and motion-capture performance, the work visualises invisible social structures as forces that morph, fracture, and reconstruct the body. These transformed figures become sites of resistance, carrying wounds, memory, and alteration forward as sources of strength, resilience, and collective becoming.
Rooted in three embodied perspectives from China—a Buyi minority migrant, an office worker, and a miner—the project reaches toward lived experiences marked by labour, silenced identities, and cultural displacement. Rather than flattening individual realities into a single narrative, Edge Tissue collects micro-narratives to build a common ground for resonance, where different bodies intersect through shared transformation, interdependent, and connected at their edges, forming an adaptive tissue of coexistence within the social landscape.
Edge Tissue 探讨群体如何借由数字具身实践来展现系统性压力对身体造成的影响。作品结合三维动画与动作捕捉表演,将那些不可见的社会结构可视化为一种使身体形变、碎裂、重构的力量。这些经过转化的身体成为反抗的场域,将伤痕、记忆与变异一并携带向前,转化为力量、韧性与集体身份塑造的源泉。
项目根植于三个来自中国的独特视角: 布依族劳工者、上班族、和矿工. 它试图触及那些被劳作刻写、身份噤声、在文化中流离失所的生存经验。Edge Tissue 采用微观叙事, 搭建起一处彼此共鸣的基底: 不同的躯体在共同的转化中相互交叠、彼此依存, 并在边缘处相互联结, 于社会景观之中形成一片具有适应性的共生组织.
