Live Performance (2022)
Jing Pang X Ashley Leung
[Moving a shelf tonight, you free? 今晚搬櫃，you free?]
This performance represents love through the action of moving a shelf, the corporation with physical input and inner understanding.
[Ashley] The purest form of loving is giving. It was the day of moving a second hand shelf bought from Carousel to my new home that I saw how pure that loving can be. It is the way they sacrificed a degree of physical comfort to actualize this act of giving that moved me. This performance is a reenactment of that evening and a chance to show reciprocity.
[Jing] When I think of unconditional love, that must be my parents, always. My dad is like a superhero, and he is my best supporting technician, the best craftsman and teacher. He always helps me out when I have trouble with exhibition installation, and he’s the best driver when I need to move anything. The idea of the performance reminds me that I know what LOVE feels like, and I know how to love. That comforts me a lot, and I already know how to respond to love in a relationship.

Reflection:
在元朗的夜晚遊走，前往公園的路是如此的凹凸不平。在推與被推的位置互換中，感受付出與接受的互動。謝謝你 Dear Ashley 💙這晚感受到很多歡樂和愛🥰這是我第一次在街上做移動的Performance，由Point A移到Point B, 很享受在體力快將耗盡時，全身汗流浹背，唯一依靠的就是意志力繼續前進的感覺。

關於觀眾的安排與拍攝的準備其實可以更好,對於Live 與Documentation 的關係, 兩者之間如何拿捏平衡, 仍在努力反思中, 感謝大家到場見證💫
