No Turn

Sai is interested in the notion of play within daily life. His practices often challenge the habituated eye by deconstructing and transforming everyday objects, found materials and situations to invite fresh interpretations. Sai sees his art as the outcome of conditional activities determined and enabled by site and context, which go beyond object-making and conventional studio practice.

"No Turn" is an installation with two bicycles that share a front wheel. Although the bicycles seem balanced and in harmony with each other, tension and conflict underlie their relationship of negation. An imaginary clash of equal, opposing forces has created an irreversible bond, debilitating to both sides. Despite their two saddles, two sets of handlebars and three wheels, it doesn’t look very likely that these bicycles would take their riders anywhere.
