The 〈Urban Planning for Travellers：Home - I〉continues Tsui Yung-Yen’s dialectical exploration of “escape” and “longing” that began with her 《To the Moon Project》. Drawing from Gilles Deleuze’s notion of “lines of flight,” she interprets escape not as withdrawal, but as a shift in consciousness—a temporary suspension of rational, knowledge-bound roles in favor of a fleeting, spiritual refuge. In this work, the balloon becomes a vessel of dreams; the internal branches, a forest of life; and the miniature houses, aspirations resting gently upon them. A golden ladder dangles below, beckoning viewers to ascend into the imagined realm of “home.” This is not merely a metaphor for escape, but a tender reflection on life itself. As both artist and mother, Tsui redefines “home” through the lens of shared moments with her child: a space suspended between reality and dream, where longing may dwell, take root, and lift off once again toward new horizons.
