Wu Chia-Yun: Five, Four, Three, Two

27 January - 18 February 2023 YIRI ARTS

Wu Chia-Yun presents an endless condition in the film through less dialogue and drama in order to focus on the language of image and visualize the state of stream of consciousness as there may be no finality between life and death.

The film responds to Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus, focusing on accepting fate rather than resisting it. The film generalizes the myth across the unrelated lives of three people eventually connected in their peaceful cycle of passing the boulder, without beginning or ending, joy or sorrow. The artist presents an endless condition in the film through less dialogue and drama in order to focus on the language of image and visualize the state of stream of consciousness as there may be no finality between life and death.

The project is sponsored by Department of Cultural Affairs Taipei City Government.
