Roof on the Field

Installation, 2024
Jiaxing, China

Design: ZHANG Jie, YANG Chen
Special Thanks: MAO Yi, LAO Shifu, LI Xinqi, Jo
For 万科·理想屋顶大地艺术节2024
This installation was created for the local Autumn Art Festival and consists of several curved plywood panels supported by a wooden framework.

The Roof aims to create a connection between visitors and the surrounding landscape. The curved surfaces, floating above the field, will serve as both an iconic billboard and a vibrant public stage. Visitors are invited to climb onto the rooftop, sharing a slow and beautiful moment together. Over time, as the exhibition progresses, the structure will transform into a canvas, welcoming graffiti artists and locals to contribute their own artworks.
