Installation documentation
This installation refers to a powerful, force-giving cold jade bed from one of Jin Yong's famous Wuxia (martial arts) novels. In proposing collective sleep as a radical act of kung fu, this work offers a dreamy platform for exchanges of energy, memory and brain waves between strangers. It also wishes the “Flower of Love Pillow” can relieve the poison of love affection. Who can tell what the fate of the past life is deciding now?
Nineteen Styles of Sleeping on the Same Pillow

The collection of Wudang Taoist secret sleep postures and yoga poses, The "Nineteen Styles of Sleeping on the Same Pillow" kung fu script, interpreted in gestural drawings by the artist, can possibly be used as references for participants. The moves are installed out of traditional order, according to personal preference. In the projected video, the valley bottom is a vast time capsule, a preservation of lives, moments and things that exist in a forever now waiting for “A Return to the Future”: the singing of cicadas, howling eagles, memories of communicating with each other (or not communicating), people falling asleep together, dating in their dreams.

《百年修得共枕眠》是一个設定在懸浮式連體床的裝置空間中發生的約會體驗。受啟與前世緣份，今生共枕，此項目每場將邀請兩位預約在相同時間的陌生人，在展覽現場的懸浮床裝置中進行約會，並共同使用藝術家特製的《情花枕》入眠。
此項目也試圖探尋前世緣份引導下今生的偶然相遇，不論是作為戀人或是知己；也反思在社交媒介中，瞬息萬變的數據關係。
「歡樂趣，離別苦」 展覽現場參考了金庸武俠小說中頗有盛名的小龍女的寒玉床，望約會彼此相遇在共枕眠時有運氣練功之舉，也有能量、記憶及腦電波的交流；也願《情花枕》能解人間情苦之毒。
試問前世緣份可由分說？集結武當道教秘傳睡功及瑜伽體式的《共枕眠十九式》可做參考，招式不分先後，依據個人喜好。
谷底，山洞，蟬鳴，鵰嚎營造下的時間膠囊體中，約睡這一覺，彼此之間交流，或不交流，又或只是共枕眠的記憶，將被時間膠囊保存，《回到未來》。
