Developed and produced the archive projection installation for more than 650 portraits from the Inside Out Project ’s visit to American Museum of Natural History during the Climate Week NYC in September 2024.
For three days in September, the Inside Out Photobooth truck was stationed just outside of the Museum, inviting the public to have their portrait taken and share their response to this question in anticipation of Climate Week NYC.
During Climate Week NYC 2024, more than 650 of the portraits captured by the Photobooth truck was run as a rotating mosaic of projection installation in the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education and Innovation. Through fall 2024, more than 150 of the large-scale portraits are also displayed as a physical installation in the Museum’s Ellen V. Futter Gallery.

Collaboration with Office of Paul Sahre.
The Ridgewood Jacket project is intended to celebrate the faux wood-grained doors in the Ridgewood, NY community, primarily painted by 78-year-old local craftsman Ferdinand Tschinkel.
Ferdinand Tschinkel
The Ridgewood Jacket falls under Karlssonwilker's label KWOTUS, collaborating with Ferdinand by utilizing the cut-out woodboard version of the jacket pattern as the canvas for painting.
I worked throughout the entire production process under the direction of Jan Wilker and Conner Muething. The project was featured on NewYork CURBED Magazine, US.

Collaborated with 808: Studio (Sixin Chen & Shukang Yu)
Proun Society is a virtual haute couture based in the United States founded by Edwin Mohney. It breaks through limitations using virtual technology and reconstructs the history of fashion.
808: has created a set of virtual fonts and scenes for the brand, crafting a visual context for non-textual applications with familiar strokes.
As a designer, I prioritize creating structured and efficient environments. Yet, there's value in elements that transcend these boundaries. There is an urgent need for temporary spaces, bypassing the wait for revised design systems, and parallels patching designed systems. The allure of these spaces lies not only in their immediacy but also in their profound impact on the urban landscape(or any designed systems). They serve as unexpected interjections, challenging the established norms of systematic design. These spaces captivate me, prompting an exploration of them across locations.
Through exploring and documenting different kinds of temporary and non-permanent spaces in urban construction, the project wants to arouse people's attention and curiosity about some seemingly permanent and inevitable things around our daily lives.

Pull Apart the Layers of 40°41'18"N 73°58'56"W
Viewing the construction site as a series of layers, I perceive each as a stage in a theatre. The workers, like actors, perform scripted roles on these stages, albeit without the ability to see themselves from this perspective. The markings on each layer, intended for construction, also serve a dual purpose reminiscent of stage markers, guiding the workers to their next positions. The transformation of these "stages" over time, and the unfolding of this "show" over more than half a year, captivates my interest.
