😢 It started from Hair Loss 源于脱发...
The tendency for hair loss among young people has inevitably caused anxiety to permeate all aspects of contemporary life.
The project is based on the personal experience of 30 people who have experienced hair loss, and the result is a set of profiles of people who are anxious about hair loss, from which a typeface is designed to convey the universal anxiety of hair loss in contemporary life. The final point of view is that "all kinds of hair, like all kinds of plants, are born equal and all have validity", in an attempt to challenge the aesthetic concept of "baldness = ugliness" in the contemporary context and to alleviate the general anxiety of hair loss sufferers due to the aesthetic influence of the times.
脱发正在年轻化的趋向性使其产生的焦虑不可避免的渗透到当代生活的方方面面。本项目由亲身经历出发与记录，进而对30位脱发者不同经历进行记录，形成一套专属脱发焦虑人群的档案，并从中提炼设计一套字体，意在传达脱发在当代生活下的普遍焦虑。最后，结合汪民安《身体、空间与后现代性》一书中的观点：头发是身体的植物，尝试使用装置与视频结合的方式，提出：“各种头发与各种植物一样，生而平等且都具有合理性”的观点，试图对当代语境下“秃头=丑陋”的审美观念提出异议，缓和脱发者因时代审美影响产生的普遍焦虑。
The first part is a record of the phenomenon originating from my own hair loss, the second part is an archive of interviews with people suffering from hair loss, and the third part is a set of fonts based on a visual distillation and production of hair loss.
In conjunction with Wang Minan's book "Body, Space and Postmodernity", in which he argues that hair is a plant of the body, he attempts to use an experimental video healing approach to propose the idea that "all kinds of hair, like all kinds of plants, are born equal and all have rationality", relates three different stages of hair loss to vegetation, and creates a soundtrack for the video.
