With their history spanning over the past 30 years, these objects came in large variety: working pass, tea cup, award, diary, mix tape of Teresa Deng (Taiwanese pop singer who gained great popularity in the Greater China area since the 1980s), etc. They are the silent story-tellers conveying the ups and downs of a large state-owned enterprise and the daily life of the individuals who used to belong and work there. We’ve spent the past few days on selecting and categorising these objects, trying to figure out an intriguing way of exhibition setting and lighting. As of today, a few exhibits are put in place, and our exhibition designer Xu Yijing is busy experimenting with various ways of placing different media in the venue.
