Yin Xiuzhen: Portable Cities series, 2006-2010

Portable Cities are small-scale installations in suitcases that use old clothing and fabrics from an inhabitant of the particular city which are tranformed into three-dimensional textile models of their places of origin, hereby examining the political, social, historical, environmental, and human constructions that surrounded the artist when she was living there.

2. Melbourne

3. Xi’an

4. Hangzhou

5. Dunhuang

6. Groningen

About her favourite material, Yin says: ‘Clothes tell a lot about a person. At a single glance they recount how big a person is, his or her age, style, gender and income. But they also narrate invisible information such as the memory of a certain period when the piece was worn, and the reason why it was kept.’
