Yuxin Mei & Nuño de la Serna: Thinking as a Mountain, 2025

The final chapter of the Deep Listening Series at Offsite unfolds with Thinking as a Mountain by Yuxin Mei (Temple Rat) & Nuño de la Serna. Inspired by Aldo Leopold's call to "think like a mountain," the installation traces fragile entanglements between humans, nature, and perception-woven from field recordings, subtle composition, and a suspended kinetic sculpture made from reclaimed materials. This session invites us to listen with patience and attention, sensing the mountain not as static, but as alive, breathing, interconnected.

This was a dream shooting with the amazing @lixiang_no_head

A gloomy day in the rain, crawling on the mud, mid-nowhere in rural Sichuan.

“Flower Boy” is a captivating sculpture that encapsulates the pure joy and tranquility of immersing oneself in nature and engaging in physical activity.
The artwork is a lifelike depiction of a young boy with a resplendent flower as head. The sculpture captures a moment frozen in time, as the boy reclines on his back, arching his body, and reveling in the soothing ambiance of the park
