Li Shih-Wen:The Wild

20 February - 13 March 2021 YIRI ARTS

"The Wild", as the exhibition attempts to describe, refers to the state of things that constantly flow under the cover of time, but are never rid of their original status. In this way, "The Wild" narrates an all-embracing position: whether it is a vast forest or a rapidly changing city, both share the same, inexplicable primordial aura (a state especially felt in the city in the dead of night), while deep within it, the untamable part of things pours out, and the flow of time covering above them make them move. "Is that a sign of change?" --The same question is asked day after day, as if it has never happened, but it is gradually applied like a thin shadow. The stream of time moves slowly. We sprout from the same depths; all is wild in the face of time including the lights of civilization.
