The Massive Migration
The Massive Migration are a series of works which include paintings and sculptures that began in 2016. The objects used were collected by Xiao Long Hua such as used tools, articles of daily-use, instruments and so on. They＊re staying alive in certain forms of ※momentary stillness§ of their previous purposes. These forms are already far from what they used to be as the industrial products, and the reconstruction between the chaos after the disappearance of their original functions and the loss of their identities being nothing alike is exactly what Xiao Long Hua addressed in his works. Their new forms are already far from what they used to be as industrial products. The chaos that comes with the vanishing of their original functions and the loss of their identities through their unfamiliar reconstructions is something Xiao Long Hua wanted to highlight.
However, those who are without the restriction of time and space could experience both the past and the future. As all things can become part of the past unpredictably, similarly to the future. As Markus Lüpertz said, no one should define what can be considered a creature. We limit what we can see because of the lack of our imagination. Things shouldn＊t be defined by current perceptions of life and death as demonstrated through these pieces. This was the original inspiration for this work.
The artist wants the audiences to experience the life of these reconstructed physical ideas and the timelessness of their being.
