Appreciations towards YokYok for providing the following description.

《河塘纤书》是为嘉兴量⾝定制的公共艺术作品。 嘉兴市政府想要⼀件作品放置于新的项⽬“九⽔归⼼” 长纤塘的公共绿化区域。《河塘纤书》将从2020年12⽉展⽰⾄2022年12⽉。

The River Book is an installation designed for the city of Jiaxing. The Jiaxing government asked to the studio to think about an artwork that could take place in a new linear pedestrian park along one of the nine rivers of the city. This artwork will be exhibited during two years from March 2021 to March 2023 in the Changqiantang park in Jiaxing city, China.

这件作品的挑战在于要在公共室外的公园内放置2年的时间，同时又要以抽象的艺术表现形式激起观众的想象⼒，重温嘉兴的历史。YOKYOK想要⽤⾮传统的材料去唤醒观众的感官意识, 在类似迷宫的装置中玩耍，从⽽与作品本⾝建⽴起有意义以及独特的联系。

The challenge was to create an artwork that could last two years in the park, but also that stimulates people’s imagination and talks in an abstract way about the history of Jiaxing. YokYok wanted to use uncommon materials in order to awaken people’s senses and to play with geographical data in order to generate a meaningful and original volume for a unique pavilion.

《河塘纤书》是对城市地理和历史的⽴体诠释。以地图上的9条河流为起点，在空中升起并于地⾯融为⼀体，使它看上去像是⼀个跳着舞的漩涡，吸引观众⾛向它。 这件装置的材料是具有张⼒的弹性纤绳，它们构成了层层叠叠的透明⽹络，宽⼤的波浪线条让⼈联想到嘉兴和⼤运河丝绸和纺织⼯业的昔⽇繁华。

The River Book is a volumetric interpretation of the geography and the history of the city. The map of the 9 rivers, taken as a starting point, is raised in the air and merged to the ground. It results in a dancing swirl appealing the visitor to come closer. The materiality of the object consists in overlapping different layers of transparent screens made of tense elastic ropes. These wide waving strips evoke the silk and textile industry heritage of Jiaxing and the Grand Canal.

“作为⼀家以⼈为中⼼⽽设计的事务所，YOKYOK利⽤观众和城市的关系，创造了独特以及带有实验性的设计解决⽅案，这⾮常具有洞察⼒。” -Seendisplays, UK

As an agency with a Human by Design approach, the way in which Atelier YokYok has utilised the visitor’s relationship with the city to generate unique and experimental design solutions is super insightful. -Seendisplays, UK

当观众⾛进装置，他们可以从多感官途径去体验（视觉，触觉，听觉）。观众可以进⼊并在内部的隐蔽空间之内穿梭，并消失。不同的⼊又可以让观众找到他们⾃⼰的路径，去探索嘉兴的历史。

As getting closer the visitor can experience the installation in multiple sensitive ways (the sight, the touch, the hearing). One can enter and penetrate the hidden spaces within the installation and disappear progressively. Various openings let the visitor find their way through the pages, as an exploration throughout Jiaxing’s history.

这个特殊的项⽬是在⼤疫情期间创作的，虽然整个过程并不容易，却也更环保和⽣态化。所有的制作都是根据我们提供的规划和详细图纸，并由国内的ZIN Production和申由去执⾏。 在巴黎，YOKYOK使⽤模型以及3D参数解决⽅案去⽣成图纸以及各项数据。参数化软件可以让我们调整间距以及纤绳的数量优化风的渗透性以应对各种恶劣条件。

This unique project has been designed by YokYok exclusively by distance in these pandemic times. These particular conditions made the process not necessarily easier but certainly more ecologic by saving a few plane trips. All the production has been assumed by Zin production and SHEY engineers in China following the plans provided by YokYok. From Paris, YokYok worked with models and 3D parametric simulations in order to generate the plans and measurements required to realize the installation. Parametric software allows to adjust the spacing and quantity of ropes in order to optimize the efforts and wind permeability crucial for storm seasons.

《河塘纤书》是⼀件独创的公共灯光艺术作品。太阳，灯光和风与颜⾊相映成辉，使整个装置充满活⼒。

The result is an original and light installation that can be passed through. Sun, lights and wind play with the colors and vibrations of the ropes bringing the skin to life.
