城市漂移 Floating Cities

Artwork ID 10000179
For me, the two most influential places in my life are: Saint-Denis in France, where I pursued further studies, and the Taipei City in Taiwan, where I was born and raised, and lived for many years before leaving for France. As time passes by, memories of the two cities become indelible. A deserted train station in Saint-Denis, in particular, seems to have overlapped with the new and old train stations in Taipei. The two territories meet, push against, and merge with one another through strong continental movements, all of which accentuate the passing of time. As geographical boundaries are blurred, I also look deeper into the inner and virtual worlds. Eventually, I develop multiple perspectives on things. Then, I as a long-time outsider in France start to look for traces of my homeland on a foreign land and reflect upon it. Through sights and sounds, I hope to bring viewers’ attention to various different subjects, such as nostalgia, identity, dissociation, context, displacement, pursuit after one’s utopia, climate change, etc.
