Opening on 25.10.22 – 26.02.28
Soulangh Cultural Park – Jiali/ Tainan/Taiwan
A multi-layered perception of the city of Tainan/Jiali and Soulangh Cultural Park – walkways unfold as both orientation and disorientation. To walk is to claim a place, letting an unfamiliar environment disclose its fragments and thresholds. With each step, perspectives emerge that are neither fixed nor linear, but condense into a personal architecture of experience.
The exhibition venue becomes such an architecture, composed of traces of sound and image. Hidden frequencies—ultrasonic calls, fleeting vibrations, subtle echoes—are recorded, , transposed and rearranged into audible registers. Video layers further situate these sounds, binding them to gestures of movement and to the overlooked textures of everyday life.
Certain scenarios serve as anchor points: the morning view from my window, layered in time, permeated by birdsong; the darting of bats at the edge of day and night; the dense proliferation of unfamiliar colorful signs and glowing billboards on my way to the city center; the pedestrian signals whose flashing symbols urge an endless motion of stop and go. Each encounter, ordinary yet estranging, becomes a link across different temporalities.
The collected sounds and images resonate as strata of perception inscribed in the act of roaming the surroundings of my stay. Thus, the pulse of walking, the signals of other beings, the rhythm of urban signs intertwine—forming an experiential memory that invites to follow the tracks.
