“剃头”曾是老北京胡同里充满趣味与记忆的行当，也曾是社区生活的重要成份。我们重新梳理剃头行囊的构成，简明利爽地将理发各功能的要求集约设计于一个装置里，意图用新的设计语言，将当代剪发设备纳入一个具开阖功能的移动工作站里，配合与时尚造型师的跨界合作，提供全新的剪发体验，场所化地再现与提升“剪头”这一民生行业。

Among the street businesses of “old Beijing”, hutong haircut was full of fun and memory. Unlike today haircut almost can only be found in shop spaces, hutong haircut was used to be a part of familiar community life in “old Beijing”. Based on analyzing its old fashion and responding to the requirements of street haircut today, an installation containing necessary tools and appliances was proposed. With service from young stylists, we intended to represent hutong haircut in a new way.

“胡同剪映”是一个在狭小街巷内可迁移与变换的剪发装置，三角柜体的构造方式将占地尺寸、工具与衣物的收纳等，都做了最紧凑实用的设计考虑。装置背面设计了可以向两侧转折打开的镜面屏风，开展的屏风除了能够清晰的界定两个对称的理发位置，并且能应对场地的限制，或是顾及剪发的体验效果，而被调整成不同的样式，从而将理发活动的场所气氛做较好的营造，发挥最佳的“表演”和观看方式。

“Hutong Reflection” is an installation able to be freely moved in small alleys. On both sides of the center cabinet, stacked mirrors were designed as foldable screens. These screens made the installation extendable and able to adopt its form to a specific site. The open screens helped define a “place” for outdoor haircut. They made this open air activity infectious to viewers and play like a live show in hutong. The almost extinct street haircut was thus reintroduced and able to be recognized in a positive manner.

“胡同剪映”还是一个互动的街道家具。我们尝试建立装置与胡同环境之间的“对话“关系，设计延伸了理发行为中不可或缺的功能要素 — 镜子，以模拟砖墙垒砌的方式将多面镜子交叠排列。多重的镜面捕捉、映射周遭形形色色的人物、事件与环境景观，让观者或路人感受当下各种现象、光影、人物，甚至自身形象的交相映射，呈现出一幅幅片段影像的并置，乃至过去与现在的新旧叠合。“胡同剪映”意图通过这样的影像手段，隐喻胡同区面临的拆解与不完整困境，触发观者在捕捉视觉趣味的同时，不期然地意想至胡同的现状与未来。基于再现街头剪发与拼合街区映像的双重趣味，“胡同剪映”成为居民谈论、行人自拍、孩童游戏的热点，进而显示出小装置参与到胡同改造的潜力。

“Hutong Reflection” is also an interactive street furniture. The arrangement of mirrors embedded in iron frames simulated the pattern of brick walls. The mirrors reflected surrounding pedestrians, residents, activities, environments, and even the viewer himself. All the images were cut to be fragmented pieces randomly and scatteredly presenting on various mirrors. This interesting appearance attracted people to take selfie and kids to play around. On the other hand, the specially displayed images were a metaphor for the fragile situation of the existing hutong environment. Viewers were invoked to associate with the present and the future of this old Beijing district.
