The toilet is a relatively hidden and private place in the building space, a space that needs to be concealed. Tiles covered the floor and walls, sinks, showers, toilet paper, toilets, tampons, mirrors, and other objects that originally existed in the toilet. These symbols appeared in the public passages, occupying the spaces we are familiar with. 

The "toilet" in Xinglanli, the project site: contains the elevator passage, escalator access and logistics staff access and the real toilet. The original 80 square meters of toilet space overflowed the entire Xinglanli public area, engulfing and twisting like a black hole The time and space eventually formed a 1450 square mile toilet. 

Here, all traditional aesthetics, feelings and tastes are twisted, smashed, and strangled. The single functional public passage has become an extension of the toilet space. These items that are not elegant in daily aesthetic experience are enlarged, stacked, arranged ... In the network age where visual language and images are extremely overloaded, we seem to be in the mirror world of information fragments. Only by breaking through the mirror can we break the endless aesthetic fatigue and discover new possibilities!
