作品介紹
Going Home takes Chen Huazong as the prototype of the story. It begins with a young man revisiting Chen’s former residence: an eclectic-style building hidden in a deserted place infested with weed that has been ruined for a long time, before moving to the statue of Chen Huazong kept in the storage room of the council building. Through his story, I attempt to show the intertwined network of facts and fiction behind a historical site. Another part of the work focuses on the building of the Tainan City Council, discussing how the ideology of the country's rulers can be spread or enhanced by symbols in space.
作者介紹
Ting Chaong Wen currently lives and works in Tainan. He specializes in mixed media installation incorporated with images and objects. His works are inspired by his personal experience, and often reveal specific historical narratives created by embedding readymades in specific exhibition contexts. With surprisingly innovative attempts, the artist deconstructs, illustrates and re-interprets our shared history while examining material culture, historic conflicts, collective memory as well as transnational phenomena and problems.
