At Number 1 Main Road

April 30th, 2025- June 1st, 2025

Shuang Li’s new exhibition No Heat at Number 1 Main Road continues her exploration of intimacy, communication, and digital mediation through light, space, and sculpture. The exhibition transforms personal and emotional dialogues into immersive environments where language dissolves into sensation. In a haze-filled room, LED pulses encoded in Morse Code translate conversation into rhythm, animating suspended sculptures in an exchange of light.

In the tower installation, a distorted monologue by the artist plays softly, its words just out of reach. Two parallel strips of LED lights, reminiscent of airport runway lights, run the length of the structure, illuminating in sync with the voice. The result is a drifting, disoriented transmission — a message half-lost in transit, flickering between distance and longing.

Across both installations, Li invites us to feel what cannot be said — where emotion is no longer spoken but radiated.

Shuang Li (b. 1990, Wuyi Mountains, China) creates performance, interactive websites, sculpture, and moving image installations that explore the digital landscape shaped by global communication systems and uneven information flows. Her work focuses on the interplay between media and users, examining how technology fosters intimacy while also functioning as a tool of neoliberal control over the body and desire.
