The Keelung Museum of Art’s annual international exhibition, WE ARE ME — We Never Just Pass By reflects on the dialectical relationship between subjectivity and identity in the torrent of our image-sharing era. Transforming the conventional black- and white-cube formats of museum display and interpretation, the exhibition unfolds as a series of immersive scenes composed by the rhythmic works of participating artists. You are invited to enter, reflect, and respond—illuminating the open exchange between artist and audience in the streaming world of memes.
Chen Sung-Chih, a Taiwanese artist known for his long-term engagement with site-specific installations, often works with materials imbued with historical resonance to explore contradictions and cultural memory. In Untitled–KEE (2025), viewers are invited to walk across a nylon carpet coated with silver glitter, leaving footprints that evoke the traces left behind after an event has ended.
By employing soft, pliable materials, Chen highlights the interplay between body, space, and materiality. The footprints become imprints of fading time and residual memory, transforming individual acts into shared visual experiences. Between formation and dispersal, the work unfolds a dynamic and ephemeral aesthetic that metaphorically reflects the continual flux of value, boundaries, and events in everyday life.
