The public artwork “Not Terminal”, which is part of the “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2025”, is currently displayed at the Macao Cultural Centre (CCM) Plaza in Nape.
Chinese contemporary artist Yin Xiuzhen is renowned for her highly distinctive installation and participatory artworks. Echoing the theme of this Biennale, “Hey, what brings you here?”, the artist created the interactive video installation “Not Terminal”, which features an interactive platform centred around a “static luggage conveyor belt loop” and plastic blankets around the conveyor belt that create an interactive space for the public.
Several screens are hung above the installation that displays live footage of the site and pre-recorded life scenes, creating a lively theatre of life, according to the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC).
The artist integrates multiple means such as vision, experience and thoughts to create an interactive space conceived as a conveyor belt. By juxtaposing the concepts of a “terminal” and a “non-terminal”, the work probes into the fluidity and uncertainty of life, inviting the public to reflect on the meaning of life in a turbulent world and highlighting the uniqueness and diversity of both individuals and collectives in motion.
As a featured section of “Art Macao 2025”, the Public Art Exhibition integrates art into urban spaces and daily lives, inviting the public to imagine new possibilities of public spaces.
Art Macao 2025 is organised by IC and co-organised by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and the SAR’s six integrated resort companies. For more information about this year’s Art Macao visit the art event’s official website.
