Today, September 24th, musician/artist Li Yuchun , and Netherlands national treasure artist Florentine Hoffmann, a large-scale art project "He raised it when it was an egg" ” was unveiled in Hall 1 of Today Art Museum. The 12-character exhibition
originated from a news in 2021, about a real incident of a ostrich running wild in the downtown area. Li Yuchun said that while watching the news, the interview with the ostrich breeder was the most touching part to her. The breeder didn't understand the ostrich's mind until the last moment when the ostrich died of exhaustion, even though he was still an egg. when it's time to feed it. The whole process is absurd and sad. Later, Li Yuchun wrote a song about ostriches, which is planned to be included in the album to be released this year. Later, she shared the news of the ostrich with Hoffman, so they created such an art project: "He raised it when it was an egg".
"Humans have controlled and changed the behavioral trajectories and evolutionary history of many animals, and are used to examining the nature of animals from their own perspective. However, when humans talk about animals, they are actually talking about humans themselves." Li Yuchun said.
The 3-meter ostrich in the showroom Discredited her, even though we liked her when she was 08. Therefore, this exhibition reminds me of Li Yuchun's single "Weak Underbelly" released in April 2021.
debuted in August 2005 as " super girl annual champion", Li Yuchun has always insisted on himself in the hustle and bustle, and praised others. Until April 2021, after her 16-year debut, she borrowed the lyrics of the new song "Weak Underbelly" to open up her invincible and indestructible armor, revealing her soft and never-shown side. The super-long copy of Li Yuchun's Crazy Studio annotated this move:
Ostrich News and "Weak Underbelly" may be just a coincidence, but in Li Yuchun's heart, they must have some kind of secret connection. When you stand in the exhibition hall and look at the ostrich with a pink mouth and gentle eyes, the song should ring in your ear:
"The stars in your eyes are cosily and innocently
is bright as the rising sun and your ears are blushing
you The fine lines on the lips and the understated tone
whispering who's heart is whispering, this moment suddenly lost its sense of proportion
Who have you loved, how many rumors have you heard
Is the disease also called youthful spirit
How many stories are engraved on your wrist Pain
pulse sternum body temperature inch by inch "
"Weakness" - Li Yuchun
