Human Manual
Chengdu, 2025
Installation/Text-based work
Material: printed text, paper
Human Manual brings together fragments from instruction manuals, safety notices, regulations, and everyday guides into a single text. Language designed to be practical and useful is removed from its original purpose and reorganised into something impossible to follow. Through accumulation and repetition, the work transforms systems of instruction into a form of absurdity, reflecting on how people navigate the rules, guidance, and information that structure everyday life.
