Slowly working with a package of instant noodle, this performance knits each thread of instant noodle one at a time. Instant noodle is a delicacy that is consumed almost in every country of the world and I believe instant noodle is an object that can represent the world culture; its preference to instant and comfortable things regardless of its health values. The act of knitting instant noodles aims to contrast the concept of precious time. By using this object that is suppose to make things faster and easier, it actually makes the process of knitting slower and more difficult. Creating a slow and tense movement of knitting, viewers are invited to slow down as they carefully watch the slow knitting grow.
