Motherhood Poster June. 2019
MOTHERHOOD CONCEPT ART & SET DESIGN ’Motherhood’ is a short film written and directed by Kevin Ching, was originally shot at 2019. I was the production designer of this short film, worked on both set design and prop search. We were working on a student budget at that time, only the corridor and main bedroom were built. This new set design project for ‘motherhood’ is an exploration of the boundary and possibility of my own old work, to express how I understand the living space after one-year’s introspection.

Local Residents use recycling materials build pergolas to enlarge their living space
The original location was lack of depth and the sunshine was too bright, came directly from the exterior. I collected abandoned windows and door frames in the neighborhood as the materials, designed and built (with construction team) a pergola outside the ware house to reduce the bright sunshine and enlarge the depth of the shooting space.

Inspired by the Chauvet Cave I used stone to carve birds frescos around the walls in a huge villa, for a surrealism scene when two kids eventually entered this abandoned place.

Memories of Red Steel City During the time I worked on ”Summer in Hannan” , I’ve got a precious chance to enter hundreds of abandoned old apartments in ”Red Steel City”, which used to be the accommodations for thousands families who worked in the biggest steel mill in middle China, and now is going to be pulled down because of the city’s gentrification demand and also the decline of the steel mill. Exploring these immense ruins is like observing a monument of people’s living history. Eighty percent of the dressing props are collected from these abandoned apartments. Wall paper, tile, broken furniture, curtain, sticker, tableware, notebook, unfinished spicy crayfish in the pot, each of the abandoned stuffs are speaking their stories. It offered me a good chance to observe people’s living traces through an extremely short distance , and urged me to think of the relationship between people and their living spaces.
