De naald zonder draad
Het werk van Shiu Jin komt op verschillende manieren tot stand. Zijn tekeningen, objecten, video's en schilderijen lijken op het eerste gezicht misschien fragmentarisch; ze zijn echter allemaal verbonden door consistente kenmerken en een humorvolle benadering. Het werk van Jin komt vooral voort uit zwevende beelden van zijn dagelijks leven en zijn herinneringen. Door het opnieuw samenvoegen en ordenen van zijn persoonlijke verbeeldingsmethode, of taal, creëert hij ambigue fantasieën. Die fantasie wordt opnieuw zwevende materie, die zich beweegt tussen het politieke en het poëtische. Het zijn pogingen om de connectie in het denken te vinden die het leven uiteindelijk zou moeten bieden, ofwel communicatie met een circulerende structuur.

The needle without thread
The work of Shiu Jin is produced in various ways. His drawings, objects, videos, and paintings might at a first glance look fragmentary but they are all connected through consistent characteristics and a humorous attitude. Most of Jin’s work stems from floating images from his daily life and collections of thoughts, creating ambiguous fantasies in the process of recombining and rearranging his personal system of imagination, or language. The fantasy becomes another floating matter in between the political and the poetic. These are attempts to seek the connection of thinking which should ultimately exist in life, that is, a circulation structure of communication.
