Two figures stand directly opposite one another, dressed simply, of similar height and proportion. The performances by Xiao Mao and Xiao Wang display the two mirror opposites leaping up and down in a mimetic cycle. The action recalls the standard 15 minutes health exercise performed obediently on school grounds throughout the PRC by students of all age prior beginning class. In China, where national propaganda exults with the maxim, “The future belongs to the youth…”, the artwork suggests that we recall another phrase, …"it is a poor memory which only remembers the past…”. The tedium of the visual message sounds out against the youthful play of the two artists, whom while yet young anticipate the rigorous chores of education, examinations and guidance by teachers whom curtail such random gaiety. The two abstract personae seem convoluted, the artwork presents their energy as being contained rather than released, play without any further intention than to enjoy life is encapsulated with the title by being subject to the eventual judgement of time. They are the promise and hope of the future and re-enact identical gestures which are stripped of their original context. Creativity is a simulacra in the portrayed youth and the actual authors of the contemporary dance sequence. Morning Remembering Future counts as a artistic depiction of the small in the large, of the “unit” in the societal collective. The two young woman freely play with gravity, ignorant to the gravity of history which surround them and which awaits them in the first induction to its principal tier of evolution: education. Both a progressive work for the Liu Dao collective and a simple examination of the importance of remembering things in a non-linear context, visually innovative means allow one to surpass the conventions of time.
