When “utopia” is reduced to mere refuge, these subtle presences begin to operate as allegory. In the twenty-first century, the “global village” is increasingly experienced as unraveling, giving rise to a pervasive sense of homelessness. Some are displaced, others migrate; for many, what changes is the meaning of “home.”
In Zhou Zhang’s memory, “home” is less about family than about waiting—flickering television images and idle radio noise that stretch time. What is imagined as a place of grounding here appears suspended, drifting, and fragile.
Lodged in edges and crevices, these formations may never truly point to stability; instead, they register duration, consumption, and an unfinished act of dwelling.
