With their installation currently on view at Swiss Institute in New York, Shen Xin discusses the development of their new work, studying Tibetan, and the impermanence of language
“centres restorative practices drawn from Tibetan language through performance, land and family histories”. Can you tell me more about these functions within the work?
SX: I sense that one should approach language knowing that it is both an acknowledgement towards permanence, in the desiring realm, and an affirmative act towards impermanence – for language is to be uttered, written, used. Actions, being part of what manifests relations, partially determines the productivity and the failures of misunderstandings. One is often tested in one’s capacity to hold multiple truths, which again for me has to do with the accountabilities of creating.
SX: I definitely struggle with this line, for it inherits truth and depicts a phenomenon. I have been drawn to thinking about ethnicity in relation to China as land, from my lived experience on Turtle Island . If the majority is a construction for the sake of the nation-state, in this case, the Han people facilitated the merging of the past in multiple violent chapters, a sacrifice is forced upon oneself.
SX: The most satisfying way of being alive for me is knowing that relations obtained are sincere. Where sincerity is concerned in one’s relationship with the moon, snow, blood and body parts, there is the collapse of integrity. One can say it becomes flat, therefore creating a plane on which one stands and senses the interconnectivity of an ever-evolving cycle. You can describe it as a technology too, a preferred one, a dwelling that can be returned to.
