ABSTRACT

In the process of rapid industrialization and urbanization, we are living in an urban landscape that is uniform and homogeneous in the logic of capital. China is also accompanied by the issue of hollowing out urban and rural areas in the process of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization, which experiences unprecedentedly rapid growth for more than 40 years of reform and opening. To overcome this, the Chinese government, companies, and academia are also showing political, industrial, and academic movements. Among them, I paid attention to the attempt to overcome the hollowing out of urban and rural areas, that is, to overcome the placelessness, through 'Site-specific art'. In particular, Yang Qi Rui, a Chinese sculptor, shows his special attachment to the soil symbolizing traditional and ecological life, as well as reflection and concern for commercialized spaces and urban landscapes created consistently during the growth of the Chinese Wind. This paper aims to examine Chinese Site-specific art, focusing on his works in the 「Nine Wall series」(『九墙』系列). To this end, Maurice Merleau-Ponty's body phenomenology theory is summoned to the framework of analysis to derive the mechanism of how his works communicate and interact with viewers in specific places, and to re-recognie specific places and environments through physical and perceptual experiences.
