Open Dump

by Grace Lau

This is an indoor large-scale artwork. The idea of this work is let more people to what is karate, what is the spirit of karate.

Many athletes will wear the fluorescent dogi (道衣) in a dark area. They will move some action of karate, such as punch, kick and so on. They will show the performance for 30 minutes, show up every 2 hours. Another half and one hour, there is a big television of the wall, the television will show the video of the traditional training and modern training, let the audience know how they strive and persist.

On the show, every athlete have a red light surrounded on their wrist, so that when they move, the light will be a line or circle…then some images will save in their brain, but how can they keep in image? We will provide a camera glasses for the audience, they can capture the image by it, let them can take the image away, let them can remember this artwork forever. And also one explanation for the light, I chose red because red is representing powerful and strong, I think karate is a powerful material art!
