Windoat

"Windoat", a mysterious creature I found in an old water town in Jinze, Shanghai.

I followed their footprints, investigated their habitat, and recorded their growth. 

I taught them how to swim and how to set sail. 

​

Using the materials I collected from the old weapon factory buildings hidden inside a water town, instead of following the paradigm of shipbuilding, I built a few bottomless boats based on my assumption and imagination and allowed these "windoats" to float freely in the river.

​

During my stay at the water town, I also made a fake documentary for the "windoats".
