Created for Art Field Nanhai 2024, The Sample House is an outdoor installation located on the large staircase behind the wall of the Youwei Pavilion. It reflects on the temporary structures often found on construction sites — such as worker dormitories, guard posts, and performance mockups—that disappear upon project completion. Constructed from inexpensive embossed metal panels — ready-made, standardized products of mass production — and strictly following standard installation processes, the work’s façade is richly ornamented, borrowing patterns from local residential tilework. With a tilted structure perpendicular to the sloped staircase, the installation resembles a sample house for showcasing embossed panels, seemingly forgotten here during a site clearance. In its temporary, economical, and visually expressive state, it challenges the standardized urban construction symbolized by the surrounding grand new buildings.
