HU P861Y2 (a fictional car license plate； HU is the abbreviation for Shanghai) humorously and absurdly explores urban cohabitation. The concept of the installation is inspired by a common phenomenon in residential neighborhoods: residents cover their beloved cars with car covers and park them in a corner of the community for extended periods. By replacing the car inside the cover with a recreational room, the piece transforms and reinterprets everyday behavior and spatial functions. In this transformation, the car cover, car, architectural space, and users interact, intertwine, and change, presenting a multifaceted state that highlights the complexity of urban cohabitation. HU P861Y2 is not only an absurd imagination but also symbolizes a state of harmonious coexistence, reflecting the intricate interactions among diverse elements in the city.
