This project is the physical rearrangement of the empty half of a shopping mall in Dongguan, South of China.

South East China Mall - the biggest shopping mall in China at the time of its completion- was opened in 2005 in Dongguan. Even though the mall is in the center of a city of 8 million people, the mall stayed abandoned for 8 years.

The developers are currently renovating and relaunching the mall, half of which has already reopened in October 2013.

The project focuses on the other half of the building that is not reopened yet. It reflects on the wait for the grand reopening - a new attempt to save something that did not work before.

The project explores the empty half of the shopping mall by rearranging the found furniture in an abandoned bookstore (shelves and cupboards) into stage sets of living rooms. These sets will remain in the mall until their discovery.
