Night Dream - 2024 Treasure Hill Light Festival

Exhibition Period｜2024.3.23 Sat.-2024.5.5 Sun.
Open Time｜Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-22:00 Closed on Mondays and National Holidays
Location｜Treasure Hill Artist Village

After three years of the pandemic, although the world seems to have returned to normal, what can be seen is that, despite living in a modern society with technology and artificial intelligence, humans, in response to the uncertainties brought by the pandemic and the resulting unknown anxieties and fears, often appeal to religious rituals, divination ceremonies, or mind-body-spirit therapies beyond scientific explanations. They hope to glimpse into the future and the unknown, seeking solace for their souls.

The non-scientific methods to understand the world originate from human’s fear and worship for the nature and curiosity about the unknown. Hence, various means are employed to obtain information or revelations from the projected objects. This communication process is akin to how human receives subtle and imperceptible messages in their dreams. Dreams are guides to human’s subconsciousness, revealing immeasurable thoughts in human’s mind. Dreams are a part of our daily life, as well as a pathway to the past and the unknown in spiritual and folk beliefs. With thoughts during the day and dreams at night, dreams carry countless desires and information that transcend time and space.

"Facing the light, stepping into dreams, where infinite possibilities unfold." Welcome to the 2024 Treasure Hill Light Festival: Night Dreams. Join the exhibited artists, through the intermediaries of their works, to engage in communication among self, non-human and alternative spacetime to explore and understand the future that exists in the present, the past and the unknown.
