During the course of my art residency program in Yokohama, Japan, I often rode my bicycle down the newly paved path along the railway track from Sakuragichō Station to Yokohama Station. According to the Major of Yokohama, it won't be long before this area becomes a sewer of graffiti vandalism. During my stay there, I was most fascinated by how people traverse across this quiet and clean area with minimal fuss. This series of works is inspired by my own experience of commuting which got me thinking about issues relating to mobility. I am most interested in the implications of travel and mobility in the age of modern transportation. To be more specific, I try to highlight the fact that when we are in fact sitting throughout the entire journey in the comfort of the car which not only protects us, but also disconnects us from the external environment, our bodies can only perceive the movement and changes in time space by means of visual signs which operate outside of and independent from our bodies, causing discrepancies between our visual perception and physical perception. Perhaps we are all jumbled up at the center of the world, while everything surrounding us is going fast. Although these things so fast that we can never be able to catch up and make connection with them, we have no choice but to move and breathe in the same world with them. And even though we remain in slow pace, or even motionless, there will never be short of slight changes to our seemingly repetitive life – changes which would be perceived by our visual and physical perception.(Chen Wan-ling)
