“LetOutAYawn” creates a space where events unfold naturally. When participants enter an empty room and sit without doing anything, they encounter a rare condition in contemporary life: time without support and an unavoidable awareness of their own presence. Emotions arise like undercurrents—confusion, tension, disorientation, fleeting joy, fatigue—eventually giving way to the inevitable act: the yawn.

The work invites the body to respond to the fluctuations of space, time, and mind.

Starting from December 2008, I invited people interested in this project to yawn in Shanghai, Berlin, Florence, and Beijing. The documentation methods include video recording, photography, hand-drawing, and this project is still ongoing.
