Zhiqian Tang's collection is stored in several warehouses, spanning a total area of 3,000 square meters. Tens of thousands of items are housed in these 'time tunnels', ranging from centuries-old tree roots to items such as televisions, radios, VCRs, machine tools, gears of various sizes, locks, springs, typewriters, heavy diving helmets, propellers, ancient books, and more. These intriguing, highly interactive, and continuously growing collectibles serve as the inspiration and creative wellspring for his works. When reutilizing these items, Tang injects new life into the old artifacts. This not only adds an element of amusement to his creations but also highlights the exploration of form and materiality

Through reassembling and repurposing, the works convey an intensity intertwined with collective memory, cultural signifiers, and nostalgia.
