It’s rather difficult to find a person who has plenty of time to navigate through the sea
of books with much leisure in this transforming era. Instead, people driven by various
motivations come to bookstore to purchase books and end up placing them on the top
of the shelf. The entity of books gradually fades away whereas illusions haunting on it
flourish. Acoording to some, the act of getting the book enjoys much more importance
than the process of reading. I held a conceptual and private funeral for those books on
my shelf which I seldom read and endeavored to promote some thinking upon this topic.
This project consisted of a series of installation and paper works. I blended the paper into pulp and made them into the shape of graves each stamped with code. As for the paper works, I abstracted features from paper products used in traditional Chinese funeral and marks used in printing and added details from each book to recreate the fascinating process of making a book which originally rarely had the chance to appear in the pages and could only be quantified, converted and recorded into texts.

在这个变革的时代，很难找到一个人有充足的时间在书海中悠闲地遨游。相反，人们在各种动机的驱使下来到书店买书，最后把书放在书架的最上面。书的实体逐渐消失，而萦绕在书上的幻觉却愈演愈烈。有些人认为，买书的行为比阅读的过程更重要。我为书架上那些我很少阅读的书籍举行了一场概念性的私人葬礼，并努力促进对这一主题的思考。
这个项目包括一系列装置和纸质作品。我将纸张混合成纸浆，做成坟墓的形状，每个坟墓上都印有代码。至于纸上作品，我从中国传统丧葬中使用的纸制品和印刷中使用的标记中抽象出特征，并添加了每本书的细节，以重现原本很少有机会出现在书页中，只能被量化、转换和记录为文本的书籍的迷人制作过程。
