STATEMENT
This exhibition highlights the impact of objects on humans, and it has evolved quite a few times before it becomes what it is today. On the basis of one of my earlier works, “Nothing Happens”, which was presented in my 2018 solo exhibition, I further developed a series of works because I received a grant from the Ministry of Culture in 2019, and I recreated another version of these works to better illustrate what I’ve observed throughout these years for this exhibition.
From human perspectives, objects reflect our mindsets, or simply fall into the categories of tools or logical concepts, but in reality, arrays of objects imprint certain perceptions on our bodies, and such interaction between objects and humans have naturally molded into our brains to facilitate our understandings of the world. These perceptions are everywhere in the air, and they get into everything, yet they are transparent and elusive. Therefore, what I am trying to do is to visualize such elusiveness. Through the structural change of my thoughts, I bring together natural substances, manmade objects, digital images, and the techniques involved to the same discussion table, stirring the audiences by examining all of these objects together with the external, objective facts as well as the internal, subjective cognition found in the progressing human society. By doing so, I can contemplate on time, space, and human existence and introduce them to this exhibition.
