let me tell you a secret
Zhao Yanbin • 2023
An intimate portrayal of love that penetrates through the wounds of language. Chinese and Korean written down on mirrors, broken apart and reattached together. In the spinning and oscillating, words collapse into sculptures, meanings transcended by whispers, like a spell cast through the gesture of telling a secret.
