Heterotopia/ 遊園驚夢
28/02 - 21/03/2025
Follow the trace of a snail and fall asleep to the sweetest summer night.
The painting opens up a portal to see the stairs of faith from the hall of nowhere.
In the mirror is homecoming; she says dreaming is un-forgetting.
--
The body knows the aging pain and its location, “only if my doctor can tell me the truth.”
When the paraventi unfolds, there is knowledge about every detail in the last industrialisation.
Sleeping beauty, left alone in the deepest secret of the red chamber garden, holds her steel dagger.
— Claire Shiying Li
