Dark Romance micrograph and sound

Berlin-based DJ and sound researcher Diamin, together with plastic and sound artist Sean Gates, created the sound piece played in the exhibition space. Their 25-minute sound design incorporates recorded sounds from the exhibition's creation process—such as laser cutters and tools—with sound entities crafted from encounters with Zhang's works. The piece functions as an auditory archive, blending biological rhythms and systematic patterns. The sound installation is played at two volumes: a lower volume assigned to a single work locally and a louder volume in the upstairs space, layering the exhibition with both microscopic and macroscopic narrative textures.
