MOVANA 2004-2025 Dimension variable Shredded paper components into tapestries and performance
Movana Chen&rsquo;s Dreconstructing weaves together stories, materials, and histories, transforming repurposed books and magazines into an intricate tapestry. Originally shown at Art Basel Hong Kong in 2022, the work returns in an expanded format for Encounters 2025. This reimagined presentation includes the suspended installation, live performances of Questioning the Line, and the ongoing &lsquo;Beyond the surface&rsquo;. Dreconstructing is composed of 24 wearable garments, originally knitted from shredded magazines and later stitched into a monumental tapestry. The sections, once worn, bear traces of their history, their shapes and colors reflecting the transformation of personal narratives into a collective expression. Suspended above the space, the work offers a powerful meditation on connection and renewal. Questioning the Line incorporates performance, featuring Chen and dancer Francisco Borges, adds a dynamic, living dimension to the installation through activation. Encased in a knitted sculpture of donated maps, the performance explores the entangled relationships between human and nature, language and place, weaving histories into a shared narrative of the Earth. Accompanying these works is the Beyond the Surface, a sculptural archive of shredded and knitted travel documents. By questioning the roles of borders and nationality, Chen invites reflection on the stories we carry and the connections that define us.

《MOVANA》 2004-2025 尺寸不定 碎紙組成的掛毯和表演
陳麗雲的《裝構》交織了故事、材料和歷史，將書籍和雜誌重新轉化為精緻的掛毯。作品曾於2022年疫情期間的巴塞爾藝術展香港展會展出，今年以擴展形式重返「藝聚空間」展區。這次的再現版本中包括一個懸掛裝置、現場表演《Questioning the Line》以及持續進行的「Beyond the surface」項目。《裝構》由24件可穿戴服裝組成，最初由碎紙雜誌編織而成，後縫製成宏偉的掛毯。這些曾被穿著過的部分都留有歷史痕跡，當中的形狀和色彩反映了個人敘事轉化為集體表達的過程。作品懸掛於空間上方，對連接與延續進行了深刻的沉思。《Questioning the Line》表演由陳麗雲和舞者Francisco Borges共同呈現，為裝置增添了動態的生命維度。表演者身披由捐贈得來的地圖編織而成的雕塑，探索人與自然、語言與地域之間的糾纏，將歷史編織成地球的共同敘事。與這些作品一同展出的還有《Beyond the Surface》，這是一個由碎紙和編織旅行證件組成的雕塑檔案。通過質疑邊界和國籍的作用，陳麗雲邀請觀眾思考我們背負的故事和那些定義我們的關係。
