In 2020, COVID-19 confined bodies to rooms and intensified political uncertainty. Yet the rupture that led to this project was not only external. At some point, my inner structure began to fracture, and the threat shifted inward—toward intimacy, self-boundaries, and the fear of losing a coherent sense of self.
In response, I began corresponding with “Jonathan,” a fictional artist I constructed online. He became a broken, symbolic, and politicized proxy through whom I could move across the internet’s interstitial spaces—where art and intimacy blur into labor, visibility becomes performance, and digital reproduction unsettles the idea of a stable self.
I built a website as Jonathan’s unstable tower: part correspondence, part case study, part visual archive, loosely informed by the existential landscapes of Kōbō Abe. What began as a private vessel gradually absorbed fragments of lovers, activists, anonymous users, and silent visitors. Jonathan is not a singular figure, but a collective and unstable form, continually reshaped by the attention passing through him.
The project approaches art-making not as the resolution of fear, but as a way of confronting and remaining with it.
2020年，新冠疫情将身体困在室内，也放大了政治不确定与社会动荡。然而，真正促使这个项目发生的裂缝并不只在外部。在某个时刻，我的内在结构开始断裂，威胁随之转向内部——指向亲密关系、自我边界，以及失去完整自我感的恐惧。
作为回应，我开始与“乔纳森”通信——一位由我在网络上虚构的艺术家。他成为一个破碎、象征化且被政治化的替身，使我得以穿行于互联网的间隙空间：在那里，艺术与亲密模糊为劳动，可见性转化为表演，数字复制不断动摇稳定自我的想象。
我以乔纳森为中心搭建了一座不稳定的网站之塔，介于通信、案例研究与影像档案之间，并松散地呼应安部公房笔下的存在主义景观。这个最初用于承载私人裂变的容器，逐渐吸收了恋人、行动者、匿名用户和沉默访客的碎片。乔纳森不是一个单一人物，而是一个集体而不稳定的形体，在经过他的关注与目光中不断被重塑。
这个项目并不把艺术创作视为对恐惧的解决，而将其理解为一种面对恐惧、并与之共处的方式。
