The book entitled “Working in Progress: Reimagine the Identity of Urban Spectrum” is the collective result of archival works of cultural practitioners from Taiwan, Germany, Indonesia and Switzerland.
In the exploration of SUAVEART, the past artistic practices have been mainly associated with the Southeast Asian region, visual arts, and social issues. Over recent years, there has been a gradual shift towards contemplating art from different dimensions, leading us, unconsciously, towards the realms of environment and living spaces. From events and objects to urban landscapes, we regard spatial serving as cultural narratives, identities, and boundaries, simultaneously witnessing a series of occurrences.
Working in Progress: Reimagine the Identity of Urban Spectrum explores the archival works of Berlin-trained architect Herianto Sulindro (Indonesia, b.1928- ), who completed his studies in Technical University Berlin Germany, worked as an architect for 30 years in the department of Urban Plan, City of Zurich.
Intersecting perspectives from a daughter, an architectural photographer, a migrant Chinese researcher, and a Southeast Asia-focused curator, the project delves into urban landscapes, nature, Chinese-Indonesian migration, and Zurich’s historical development, interwoven with family history and personal narratives.
Over the developing course of approximately a year, we designed and conveyed the structure from online interviews to field surveys, engaging in a relay method to participate in this project. As time went by, based on the guidance of on-site findings, we improvisationally adjusted our research methods, incorporating elements such as blueprints, family photos, letter archives, correspondence working files, oral histories, urban architecture, and transportation infrastructure. We attempted to integrate our respective identity backgrounds and perspectives in different ways to understand Herianto, responding to the context of European Chinese migration and dispersal.
Through different entry points, we interwoven complex stories covering cultural identity, urban design, and historical events, provoking us to further think about the future feasibility of cultural narratives.

這本名為《正在進行式：想像城市光譜的歸屬》的書是由來自台灣、德國、印尼和瑞士的文化實踐者基於檔案文獻的研究成果。
細着藝術過去的藝術實踐主要與東南亞、視覺藝術、當代社會議題相關，這幾年漸漸地往不同維度思考做藝術這件事，當我們有意識的時候，不知不覺地流向了環境和居住空間。從事件、物件到城市，空間場域似乎作為一種文化邊界，連續性的見證這一連串的發生。
《正在進行式：想像城市光譜的歸屬》探索了在柏林接受訓的建築師赫里安托・蘇林德羅 (Herianto Sulindro，1928年出生於印尼) 的檔案文獻，他在德國柏林工業大學完成學業後，在蘇黎世市政廳都市規劃局擔任了30年的建築師。該計畫透過女兒、建築攝影師、旅歐華裔研究員和專注東南亞策展人的交叉視角，深入城市景觀、自然、印尼華人遷徙和蘇黎世的歷史發展，探討與家族史和個人敘事的交織。
前後約一年的時間整理、拼湊、發展、研究，我們從線上訪談到現場調查，利用接力的方式參與這項計畫。在時間推移下，依據現場資料的引領，調整研究模式，從藍圖、家庭相簿、信件檔案、口述歷史、城市建築、交通建設等，我們嘗試加入我們各自的身份背景與觀點，用不同的方式來認識赫里安托，並回應歐洲華人移居和離散的脈絡。
旅程中實驗性的展開賦予筆者們和讀者想像空間，不同切入點交織出複合的文化、身份、城市和歷史，刺激我們進一步思考文化敘事未來的可朔性。
