Heung Hoi(香海): My plastic fantastic Shanghai
— Mian Mian

When we talk about Shanghai, what are we talking about?

I haven't been back to Shanghai for more than three years, and I haven't lived in another city. I've lived in Castel di Tora all these years, and my window faces Lake Turano, an artificial lake, and in Shanghai, we have artificial beaches. We used to have electronic music parties at the artificial beaches...

Castel di Tora is a miracle for Lazio and a miracle for me. It offers me a perfect reflective life... My plastic fantastic Shanghai presents, from a hard drive I brought out of Shanghai in a suitcase.

I tried to approach, repeat, and deepen my plastic fantastic Shanghai is like storing memories for artificial intelligence called “My plastic fantastic Shanghai” or preparing the atmosphere and details for a science fiction play with a high degree of the juxtaposition of multiple realities...

当我们在谈论上海的时候,我们在谈论什么?

我已经有三年多没有回上海了,我也没有住在其他城市,这些年我住在Castel di Tora,我的窗外对着Turano 湖,这是一个人工湖,在上海我们有人造沙滩,我们曾在人造沙滩开爬梯…

Castel di Tora是拉齐奥的奇迹,也是我的奇迹,它向我提供了一种完美的反思的生活…“My plastic fantastic Shanghai”呈现的,是来自我从上海带出来的行李箱里的一个硬盘,我试图接近、重复、深化“My plastic fantastic Shanghai”,就像在为一个叫“My plastic fantastic Shanghai”的人工智能储存记忆,也像是在为某部多重现实高度并置的科幻剧准备氛围与细节…
