Broken Vessel

performance, 8:55min, 2022

During the process of making, a ceramic piece ‘Breathing Vessel’ broke when it fell onto the ground. Due to its pointed edge, it was destined to be broken when it wasn’t held in someone’s arms.

‘Broken Vessel’ and ‘At the Ceramic Field’ are two consecutive performances that record the process of breaking and letting go of the 'Breathing Vessel’.

When the ‘Breathing Vessel’ was broken, I kept the remaining pieces hoping to restore them one day. Yet ended up having to accept that all ceramic pieces eventually end up broken. The performance became a duration for me to process what acceptance and remembrance could mean.

Broken Vessel (at the Ceramic Field)

performance, 12:13min, 2022

After the ‘Broken Vessel’ performance, I brought the broken pieces back to the field behind the ceramic workshop where it was originally made. This video is a documentation of the process of throwing them back to where they came from.
