Sichong Xie

durational performance/installation taking place in two iterations at Armory Center for the Arts, Los Angeles

In Trampoline House: Memory Drawing Series, Xie transforms a playground into a stage of temporal disintegration. Drawing from children’s games and the rawness of construction site materials, this durational performance collapses the boundaries between play and labor.

A trampoline becomes the platform for a living drawing, where a large chalk piece is layered over original architectural renderings from Xie's grandfather—blueprints from the 1960s.

Every memory is an empty theater. As the durational performance slowly dissolves the chalk drawing, the ephemeral nature of memory takes form in every movement.
