在这件作品中,艺术家穿着祖母在世时从未穿过的一双高跟鞋和最常穿的裙子从后杨家走到牛庄。在不合时宜的高跟鞋与持续沉默的疼痛中,此时的风景是曾经沉默的见证者。现实的地理变化折射的是想象的目光和不可见的历史,在音乐的来回漫游中是“她”或远或近的的思绪。
这段二十八公里的路程从早上六点的清晨日出出发,结束在傍晚六点的落日余晖中。这一日的距离是从台安县后杨家到海城牛庄的距离,也是艺术家祖母30年代的出生地到她素未谋面即将嫁入的丈夫家的距离。在她踏上这段路程时,还未对一千多公里之外的中原有所想象,也无法得知在此后她将和家人散落或停留在各地不同的命运。

In this work, the artist walks from the Houyang family to Niuzhuang, wearing a pair of high heels her grandmother never wore and her most commonly worn dress. In the anachronistic heels and the pain of continuous silence, the scenery at this moment is a silent witness of the past. The geographical changes of reality are reflected in the gaze of the imagination and the invisible history, while the back and forth of the music are the thoughts of ‘her’, whether far or near.
This twenty-eight-kilometer begins at sunrise at six in the morning and ends at sunset at six in the evening. The distance traveled is from the Houyang family in Tai'an County to Niuzhuang in Haicheng, which is also the distance from the artist's grandmother's birthplace in the 1930s to her future husband's home, whom she has never met. As she embarks on this journey, she has no imagination of the Central Plains of China over a thousand kilometers away, nor does she realize the different fates her family will face, scattered or lingering in various places.
