Tai Shan • Hong Mao: Weight of Air 2025
Goose feather, newspaper, form, 3D animation, video and sound.
Tai Shan • Hong Mao: Weight of Air is an immersive installation exploring chi (氣)—the cycles of breath, life and death.
That death may be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a goose feather—it all depends on how it is carried. Tai Shan • Hong Mao: Weight of Air examines this through sculptural forms of feathers, sound and performance reflecting on the cycles of life, breath and impermanence.
A single feather may seem insignificant, but together they form a mountain, symbolising the power of community and collective presence.
The work invites audiences to move through space, experiencing the subtle interplay between life, death and the invisible forces that connect us all.
