burning chairs - burniture by hongtao zhou


'burniture' by hongtao zhou

a set of burning chairs out of wax, to burn, melt and collapse.

'these small wick figures are really burning down the 'coldness' of the icy-looking wax chairs.
cold chairs generate 'hot' seats, baking, melting and disappearing. I do not know how long it will take,
but over consumption this will weaken the chair system and eventually cause chair figures to collapse.
it is just a matter of time.'
