In this space, the different rooms inhabited by three generations form a collective home, where memory-bearing objects—a television, a sofa, a work outfit hanging on a hanger—silently tell the stories of different eras. They are the adjectives of the “Made in China” narrative.
Thanks to augmented reality, reconstructed from scans of real environments, most of these spaces are restored, reflecting nearly sixty years of evolution in the Chinese manufacturing industry and the birth of the “Made in China” myth. In the rooms of my aunt, my father, and my grandfather—respectively a textile worker, a toolmaker, and a farmer—the family history unfolds at the heart of the global historical narrative, offering us direct and tangible access to this reality.
By taking the iPad and entering this narrative universe, we are no longer mere spectators: we become actors in this memory.
