    Touching Happiness

    Photography by Jamie Baker

    3 hours, 04/01/2014 @ CiYun Taoism Temple, XiaoZhou Village, GuangZhou

    I was 24 weeks pregnant on the 4th of Jan 2014.

    I blew 200 balloons in duration of 3 hours. Audience are encouraged to take away of the red balloons as sign of sharing happiness. The audience were also invited to touch my pregnant belly. Inspired by Chinese custom “ Touch Blessing ”

    There was hidden noise sensor, when their hand reaches my belly. They hear mixed sound of temple bell and my son’s heartbeats ( baby heart beats) ! This is a sensitive, peaceful and spiritual ceremony but based on trust.

    This performance took place as part of GuangZhou Digitalive Exhibition.

    Be persistent in training! Strengthen our bodies! Study diligently! Serve our motherland!

    Radio gymnastic exercise (Guangbo Ticao ????) is part of the school curriculum in most primary (age 6-11) and secondary (age 12-17) schools in China. Every morning at 6:10am.
