Project Introduction｜
We live on this planet, scattered like tribes across the world, seemingly distant yet intricately connected. As the world rapidly develops, we shed the primitive societal skin and move forward with the pace of time. However, the sweeping pandemic forced us to suddenly pause, realizing that the "individual" is, in fact, the most insignificant part of this planet.
Amidst the pandemic, we were compelled to confront restrictions on bodily freedom, rediscovering the environment and sensations we have forgotten. This compelled us to reflect on our connection with nature—beyond exploitation and taking, how can we embrace what nature offers? How can we feel the connections of city sounds? How can we capture fleeting harmonious scenes? How can we become aware of the commonalities among different societies? How should we redefine the relationship between humanity and nature?
In this residency joint exhibition, six artists from around the world gather: Jett Ilagan (Philippines), Ayumi Adachi (Japan), Marcin Ryczek (Poland), Hirofumi Nakamoto (Japan), Abby Yan-Yee Lee (Hong Kong), and Nobuyuki Sugihara X Ayaka Nakamura (Japan). Due to the impact of the 2021-2022 pandemic, their arrival in Taiwan for the residency was delayed, an experience that profoundly triggered shifts in their artistic creation and thinking. Connected to the land, people, and nature, they will explore the delicate relationship between society and the primitive, shedding light on aspects of our environment that we overlook and becoming the subjects of our in-depth exploration.
People tend to view things they’re unaccustomed to as barbaric, but this pandemic has shown us the positive and negative impacts of globalization, rediscovering the importance of the primitive for survival. Through the artists' perspectives, this exhibition will present our tightly intertwined relationship with nature, prompting contemplation on our value of existence on this planet and the reestablishment of the close connection between humanity and the earth.
