Your Room Project (2022-present),
originating from Zhilin Xiang’s personal experiences of migration and continual relocation. The project focuses on rooms that are about to be left behind—spaces temporarily inhabited by friends and peers who are themselves in motion across cities and countries. In this moment of transition, the room becomes a site where memory, anticipation, intimacy, and absence coexist.
Rather than treating domestic space as static, Your Room considers it as an active participant in lived experience. The project approaches the room as a stand-in for the body—shaped by routine, emotion, and relationships—while also reflecting broader conditions of precarity and mobility that define contemporary life. Through photography and its expanded digital presence,
Your Room investigates how images can sustain connection and continuity when physical spaces are temporary. The project positions the act of photographing not only as documentation, but as a gesture of care—holding space for moments, relationships, and rooms that would otherwise disappear.
《你的房间》（2022–至今）
源于向芷琳个人的迁徙经验与持续不断的居住更替。本项目聚焦于那些即将被离开的房间——这些空间曾被同样处于流动状态的朋友与同代人短暂居住，他们在不同城市与国家之间迁移、停留。
在这一过渡性的时刻，房间成为一个记忆、期待、亲密与缺席并存的场域。《你的房间》并不将居住空间视为静止的存在，而是将其理解为一种主动参与生活经验的主体。项目将房间视作身体的替身——它被日常习惯、情感与关系所塑造，同时也折射出当代生活中普遍存在的不稳定性与流动性。
通过摄影及其延展的数字呈现形式，《你的房间》探讨当物理空间具有暂时性时，影像如何维系连接与连续性。项目将摄影行为视为一种不仅是记录，更是一种关怀的姿态——为那些原本将要消失的瞬间、关系与房间，保留与承载它们的存在。
