Breathless ( Performance / Installation)
First time performance: 9 November, 2025
Location: Bonn Women Museum, Germany
Photograph and video: Shi Linxin

 

In 2025, my parents passed away one after the other. In their final moments, a ventilator became the only thing keeping them alive.

At this moment, I stand in the Bonn Women’s Museum, amidst a patch of weeds, breathing in and out, conveying the unbreakable bond of life between us, while simultaneously confronting the value divide we cannot communicate with.
