Song Long is one of the few performance artists who rely on hormones to drive physical sex and potential gender politics. Since the performance artwork that stepping on the potatoes, she has "forced" her body to embody the paradoxical positioning of the constant correction and displacement of gender. It looks like the gendered physicality of adolescence, but in fact, it intentionally or unintentionally triggers the long-lasting theme of history and the gendered body. For example, she allowed the mosquitos swarm in the southern spring bite down two suture paths during the production of the stockings she carefully laid. Such a relationship between flesh and nature, flesh and gender politics, is based on a strong restraint of the self. The positioning of gender is hidden in the physicality that appears to be coveted by youth. The gender of the body is like a two-way torsion about body liberation and suppression. When facing the weight scale in the process of the performance project, she constantly strives to use physical jumps to change and unload in order to make the number produce a mechanical paradox. She mobilized worries and resistance about adolescence to reverse this rule. The physical pain caused by stepping on potatoes points to a path and trace of female labor and social oppression. Such traces are the same as the traces of her route after being bitten by mosquitoes, which have the coercive force of gender rule. Her recent work style requires the energy of short and hard hits, not too much entanglement. The ambiguity of the same proposition depends entirely on the exhaustion of the body's energy in the process of repetition, and sometimes it must rely on the natural and physical laws that the artist believes.
We often discuss the dialectical history of discipline and the body. What is different from the past is that we are no longer fascinated by the process and results of this historical formation. We will continue to try to think about this initial choice through art. When Song Long exerted force on the wrestling between her physicality and the law, what we see more is the moment when she deliberately "excessively overstrength" the coveted gender body that she has grown up, and how this moment interacts with the history environment. Song Long yearns for a way that similar to Bas Jan Ader, every step is about the moment of the Dasein. Every moment is naturally condensed with the environment and climate into a moment of eternity.
