In the context of today's rapid urbanization, pristine wilderness areas are being increasingly transformed into urban residential zones, challenging our perception of natural environments within cities. Concurrently, a growing desire among people to experience genuine wilderness is emerging, prompting us to reconsider the definition and experience of nature in contemporary urban life. Can city parks authentically capture the untouched essence of the wilderness? Artificial and programmed landscapes have already reshaped our concept of wilderness, a notion central to this artwork.

​

In this installation, the tent symbolizes both a visual metaphor and a practical element.   Upon entering the tent, people navigate several distinct spaces and randomly trigger these sound recordings, creating an immersive and dynamic auditory experience.. Sound recordings collected by the artist from various real-world locations—including airports, train stations, parks, forests, libraries, markets, lakesides, and elevators.

​

This artwork encourages collective introspection, prompting people to reflect on the authentic scope of the wilderness surrounding them. In a world increasingly disconnected from untouched nature, this piece serves as a poignant reminder and an invitation to reconnect with the primal essence of our environment, fostering dialogue and exploration between contemporary society and the natural world. 

​

Eventually, through the experience of being in the tent, people are expected to think about how far the real wildness is from us now. The tent is a real tent, but where is the real wildness?
