Who am I that you see－Season 1 Residency Group exhibition

Living in a changeful era in which our identity and position have also become obscure. "Who am I?" has become one of the most important issues to us. To find out our self-identity and position, we need to initiate conversations and interactions with others and find our image from others’ feedback.
​
During the ego formation period of an infant, they tend to recognize their existence through mirror reflection and construct a more solid self-image through constant interactions with others while growing up. In this fast-paced era, our self-identity and recognition might even retreat back to the infant period, hence endless interactions and conversations, digestion, self-conversation, and self-recognition are all needed in order to develop a new identity and position. Therefore, how to interact with others with a suitable method is a crucial part that cannot be overlooked in the process.

Yoshiaki Kaihatsu explores the connection and historical position of Taiwan and Japan by interviewing Taiwanese people who are related to the buildings left by the Japanese colonization era. Yoon Doohyun explores the possibility of producing new images and new visual experiences by overlapping print images on one surface and observing the relationship between artworks and the environment. Kasper Forest initiates an imaginary narrative to showcase the identity-searching process and questions about Taiwanese and Hong Kong people's identities. Sayang collects sounds of the audience's interaction with the space and searches for new methods of communication, meanwhile exploring the relationship between sound and space.
​
In the exhibition, artists utilize their works to communicate with the environment, self-ego, and different others. We invite the audience to explore their relationship with others and hope to start a new conversation between art, self-ego, environment, and others, and find out who we are.
