Koene to explore the appearance, gender, and related data of snails and humans. I edited the structure of the book, created the illustrations, and designed the book binding. The project started as a handmade book in 2022 and was later published by Limestone Books in 2024. Concept Development This bilingual book focuses on gender fluidity. Through black-and-white illustrations, it is divided into four chapters that explore the reproductive systems, structures, and mating positions of snails and humans. The cover design reflects the artist’s exploration of the idea of “normal” (正常）and “abnormal”（變態） by reversing the order of the Traditional Chinese characters in “變態的正常.”&nbsp; The book has two special printing details. On the cover, I used hot foil stamping to show the reflective slime of a snail, as if a snail had just crawled across the cover. The other detail comes from the fluorescent ink, which unexpectedly reveals a nocturnal ecosystem under UV light. AwardThe book design was selected for Tokyo TDC 2022 and was selected for The Best Dutch Book Designs 2023 and exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam from October 17, 2024, to January 5, 2025. <img width="2084" height="387" width_o="2084" height_o="387" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/468b72b4820b90618a8b5663f559a237b0fa30f1ec069b80e423d9c929702fab/TokyoTDC_1-02.png" data-mid="131405464" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/468b72b4820b90618a8b5663f559a237b0fa30f1ec069b80e423d9c929702fab/TokyoTDC_1-02.png" /> <img width="900" height="724" width_o="900" height_o="724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/664016c1815c3a8072931853f277f5d87566aa85fb786164a2fa9cb69305ba99/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_08.jpg" data-mid="252845444" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/664016c1815c3a8072931853f277f5d87566aa85fb786164a2fa9cb69305ba99/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_08.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5d0ba273855fb2e35177dbeb95ee3d9adccd18574c3c969ac4c1f8486e05e7e/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_05.jpg" data-mid="227846300" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5d0ba273855fb2e35177dbeb95ee3d9adccd18574c3c969ac4c1f8486e05e7e/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_05.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e1be109c515905da3aa4fc2dc79464fa1adbaf4a407c02a4f9cd721dddcd9ba/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_03.jpg" data-mid="227846403" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e1be109c515905da3aa4fc2dc79464fa1adbaf4a407c02a4f9cd721dddcd9ba/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_03.jpg" /> The Best Dutch Book Designs 2023 exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.&nbsp; <img width="4030" height="3022" width_o="4030" height_o="3022" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bedf4f3bb9c9aaf37af2fda4765a7ad39aaa8095f6ddedf7593de980169f4a5d/P1010112-2.jpg" data-mid="227190103" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bedf4f3bb9c9aaf37af2fda4765a7ad39aaa8095f6ddedf7593de980169f4a5d/P1010112-2.jpg" /><img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb0983d2aec15025d7b223027897d29b9e23967f8cf8094a56748ac74767a5ec/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_Night_04.JPG" data-mid="252845052" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb0983d2aec15025d7b223027897d29b9e23967f8cf8094a56748ac74767a5ec/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_Night_04.JPG" /><img width="4608" height="3456" width_o="4608" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9672c0e5dcc1ea8c396051e56aff2b3006f2e0f9c49a990fc3e36bff94fa8370/P1010111-2.jpg" data-mid="227190104" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9672c0e5dcc1ea8c396051e56aff2b3006f2e0f9c49a990fc3e36bff94fa8370/P1010111-2.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ece9720022d9d821fbb1e9bb3c2b0ed07fd59f48ce7b1e69a74ec6e4be8c9f9f/IMG_0856.JPG" data-mid="252845051" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ece9720022d9d821fbb1e9bb3c2b0ed07fd59f48ce7b1e69a74ec6e4be8c9f9f/IMG_0856.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb0983d2aec15025d7b223027897d29b9e23967f8cf8094a56748ac74767a5ec/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_Night_04.JPG" data-mid="252845052" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb0983d2aec15025d7b223027897d29b9e23967f8cf8094a56748ac74767a5ec/Perverted-Norm--Normal-Pervert_Night_04.JPG" />&nbsp; https://yutzuhuang.com/Sculpture-in-Mode Wed, 21 Oct 2026 17:28:02 +0000 YUTZUHUANG https://yutzuhuang.com/Sculpture-in-Mode Sculpture in Mode Background Sculpture in Mode is a duo exhibition co-curated by ALIEN MODE and ALIEN Art Centre, bringing together contemporary jewellery artist Jiro Kamata and leather artist Grace Wong in a dialogue between their practices. Kamata uses vintage camera lenses, optical interfaces, and his own optical gems to explore light, refraction, and perception. Wong transforms leather through folding, layering, and delicate stitching, turning material, time, and traces of the body into sculptural forms that can be carried. The exhibition&nbsp;takes place at GRACE HAN Taipei Maison of Art from October 18, 2026 to Januany 17, 2027. Concept Development The key visual uses abstract forms rather than showing the artworks directly. It aims to create a “state of seeing.” The iridescent light reflects the optical refraction in Jiro Kamata’s work, while the soft, flowing shapes and moiré patterns connect to Grace Wong’s work. Through refraction and moiré effects, the image moves away from fixed objects and explores how perception changes with perspective and body movement.<img width="3234" height="1794" width_o="3234" height_o="1794" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/79f353556afa3c89fc270c05e822c59e7cf174cdc401023cf32ba84799af1aa8/Final_00000_1.jpg" data-mid="253569963" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/79f353556afa3c89fc270c05e822c59e7cf174cdc401023cf32ba84799af1aa8/Final_00000_1.jpg" /> Challenge I started by a typeface for the letter “O” and giving it a glass-like effect, similar to a marble. I then incorporated colors inspired by camera lenses and leather swatches to bring the two artists’ works together. One of the main challenges was combining their distinct qualities in a single image while creating a sense of transparency. I wanted to move away from the common practice of using artworks directly in applied arts exhibitions. Instead, I aimed to create a visual that could attract attention in Taiwan without showing the artworks themselves. <img width="805" height="612" width_o="805" height_o="612" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4af97ea7ad086a793e210bbd07dd06936902d207ce954c3a2686049a6894a7af/S__14180355_1.jpg" data-mid="253569307" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/805/i/4af97ea7ad086a793e210bbd07dd06936902d207ce954c3a2686049a6894a7af/S__14180355_1.jpg" /> Motion key visual &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1440" height="1920" width_o="1440" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f30000255f4712b641662233663279d233db3a839d409a7b65baa5e4ae11d30c/AAC_Sculpture-in-Mode_KV_FA_S.jpg" data-mid="253570025" border="0" data-scale="75" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f30000255f4712b641662233663279d233db3a839d409a7b65baa5e4ae11d30c/AAC_Sculpture-in-Mode_KV_FA_S.jpg" /> <img width="2464" height="1646" width_o="2464" height_o="1646" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62ba6d91b050988453a4239bdc5bd604a6c71cc16d48e4a855a9de593684e7be/GRACE-HAN-__white.jpg" data-mid="253570573" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62ba6d91b050988453a4239bdc5bd604a6c71cc16d48e4a855a9de593684e7be/GRACE-HAN-__white.jpg" /> Commissioned by ALIEN Art Centre Concept Development | Yu-Tzu HUANG Visual/Motion Design | Yu-Tzu HUANG https://yutzuhuang.com/The-Bards-of-Time-and-Space-Ho-Kan-Kwon-Soonik Sun, 23 Nov 2025 13:54:23 +0000 YUTZUHUANG https://yutzuhuang.com/The-Bards-of-Time-and-Space-Ho-Kan-Kwon-Soonik The Bards of Time and Space — Ho Kan &amp; Kwon Soonik Background The Bards of Time and Space — Ho Kan &amp; Kwon Soonik is the 2025/26 annual exhibition at ALIEN Art Centre in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The exhibition brings together the work of Ho Kan, a pioneer of geometric abstraction in the Chinese-speaking world, and Korean contemporary abstract artist Kwon Soonik. Concept Development The geometric structural lines (the pink diagonal planes) draw from a formal deconstruction of Ho Kan’s Development 36, while the optical, perceptual dot-like interference (the blue field with black dots and scattered mineral pigments) echoes the visual vocabulary of Kwon Soonik’s Absence of Ego. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/220f67ceca7609b14c68150ebd2c6e4da85c86f7e2e151f2d75dc7927b9fc5a3/AAC_HoKan-KwonSoonik.jpeg" data-mid="248772348" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/220f67ceca7609b14c68150ebd2c6e4da85c86f7e2e151f2d75dc7927b9fc5a3/AAC_HoKan-KwonSoonik.jpeg" />↑ Ho Kan’s Development 36 (Left) ↑ Kwon Soonik’s Absence of Ego (Right) Through dynamic composition, the originally static image extends into a rhythm of pulsation and illusion, like breathing, like refracting the cadence of time and the pulse of space.

Starting from the idea of “writing,” the exhibition explores how artists use the hand, body, and materials to leave traces of time, action, and memory. The works go beyond words and lines, turning personal experiences and perceptions of life, identity, and the world into visual forms. Concept Development As four of the five artists are Traditional Chinese-language users, I decided with the curator to make Chinese character the main focus of the visual identity. The bold text 「存在的手勢」 in the background appears in both clear and blurred states, responding to the recurring idea of “being / not being.” A second layer of handwritten text is placed over the bold type to express the idea of “gesture.” Gesture refers both to physical movement and to artistic expression or statement. <img width="2712" height="2620" width_o="2712" height_o="2620" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d3e7bda7102c3f36e58451522ae77b85d625984a5beb4d4093877d8dc5cccff8/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB.jpg" data-mid="252861149" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d3e7bda7102c3f36e58451522ae77b85d625984a5beb4d4093877d8dc5cccff8/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB.jpg" />↑ Chinese c From a distance, the overlapping text forms a large and dense shape, like layers of time and labour built up over time. Up close, the text becomes loose, floating, and undefined. Bringing the practices of five artists together is also a form of rewriting. The texts overlap, creating new errors, projections, and interpretations through each act of looking and reading. <img width="4500" height="6000" width_o="4500" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3e2ff5a1f34c98b19d157307850ef219440e0adaed865c5c3702f75b9129b252/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB.jpg" data-mid="252858730" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3e2ff5a1f34c98b19d157307850ef219440e0adaed865c5c3702f75b9129b252/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB.jpg" /> Motion key visual <img width="1080" height="1440" width_o="1080" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43e25e3150ce5b4188d189abe8aedc155feac6bfc96f39ab2ff8b9af19162eac/The-Gesture-of-Being_1080x1440.gif" data-mid="252858694" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43e25e3150ce5b4188d189abe8aedc155feac6bfc96f39ab2ff8b9af19162eac/The-Gesture-of-Being_1080x1440.gif" /><img width="2993" height="2314" width_o="2993" height_o="2314" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0a5f1ca8cb95e474c0f1d8675e2314aecc1aa196253800784df87a051c301f8/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB_02.jpg" data-mid="252860171" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0a5f1ca8cb95e474c0f1d8675e2314aecc1aa196253800784df87a051c301f8/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB_02.jpg" /><img width="3054" height="2478" width_o="3054" height_o="2478" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/10ccbc2704c187e8be21b0df3ac6f207fec303b8a16acfbb36750be6f2b758f5/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB_01.jpg" data-mid="252860170" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/10ccbc2704c187e8be21b0df3ac6f207fec303b8a16acfbb36750be6f2b758f5/AAC_The-Gesture-of-Being_Key-Visual_09-07-2026_FA-OT_RGB_01.jpg" /> Outdoor Banner <img width="4500" height="3000" width_o="4500" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f17ae1e3305dc1d95863fea1b23a0c8cf99872beacc3435c20bc5cf816fcd439/AAC_BusBanner.jpg" data-mid="252861092" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f17ae1e3305dc1d95863fea1b23a0c8cf99872beacc3435c20bc5cf816fcd439/AAC_BusBanner.jpg" /><img width="1344" height="855" width_o="1344" height_o="855" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a1d9f3b6a21a193ae68da8886547dc75bab4fb2a8e3d1b3aa4b8996b264c736b/AAC_Banner.jpg" data-mid="252861091" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a1d9f3b6a21a193ae68da8886547dc75bab4fb2a8e3d1b3aa4b8996b264c736b/AAC_Banner.jpg" /> Commissioned by ALIEN Art Centre Concept Development | Yu-Tzu HUANG Visual/Motion Design&nbsp;| Yu-Tzu HUANG https://yutzuhuang.com/X-site-2024-Analogue-Forest Fri, 03 Jan 2025 13:29:45 +0000 YUTZUHUANG https://yutzuhuang.com/X-site-2024-Analogue-Forest X-site 2024 Analogue Forest Visual IdentityBackground Analogue Forest is a pavilion designed with simplicity under strong sunshine.

Light passes through the mesh, making the pavilion feel like a forest. <img width="1440" height="1082" width_o="1440" height_o="1082" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a04c6d94402830ad72e7e5a6e5b790fd7a6e3569635200d77790a6ed9e08831/4AF95D9F-0AA7-402E-8C04-7B7A64FA1010.JPG" data-mid="227463921" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a04c6d94402830ad72e7e5a6e5b790fd7a6e3569635200d77790a6ed9e08831/4AF95D9F-0AA7-402E-8C04-7B7A64FA1010.JPG" /> ↑Analogue Forest in the plaza of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum ChallengeThe Chinese title of the exhibition, 林木林, became an important part of the visual concept. One 木 means “wood,” two 木 form 林, meaning “trees,” and three 木 form 森林, meaning “forest.” I treated the challenge of showing different stages, from a single piece of wood to a whole forest, across different assets as an important part of the visual identity. Concept DevelopmentThe smallest square element in the exhibition’s key visual is based on the largest grid layout in the plaza of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. Using Processing, I developed a system that gradually transforms the square elements into the tree-like columns in the plaza. I then added a swinging motion that responds to the base of the columns. Like a roly-poly toy, the elements move rhythmically between the grid and the columns, creating an image of komorebi (木漏れ日)— the fleeting light that passes through the gaps between tree branches. &nbsp; &nbsp; The Visual Identity was not only applied to motion graphics but also extended to offline assets. For the opening invitation, I wanted to create a small interactive experience. When the envelope is opened, a line from Baudelaire’s Correspondances appears: “La Nature est un temple où de vivants piliers” — “Nature is a temple where living pillars stand.” The opening invitation card is made from two triangular columns. Once assembled, it becomes a small version of the movable tree-like columns in the plaza. It also invites people to come to the opening and “plant a tree.” For social media, I planned the Instagram layout so that trees are gradually “planted” across the grid, one by one, eventually forming a forest. In this way, the visual identity grows across the entire Instagram layout rather than staying within individual posts. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080"

Background The 18th edition of the CinemAsia Film Festival will take place from April 8–12, 2026, across Studio/K, Rialto De Pijp, and Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam.As the world becomes more divided, CinemAsia’s 2026 theme, “COMMONS,” explores how empathy, shared experiences, and storytelling can help rebuild connections between people. The theme focuses on finding common ground and bridging the distance between different cultures and communities. &nbsp; &nbsp; Concept The requirements from CinemAsia was to use the brand’s “eye” symbol and the brand color orange in the main visual. I used flowing and connected colors to express ideas of coexistence, a sense of belonging, shared public space, and storytelling. For the motion design, I added a blinking movement to the eye. This gives the visual more attention and presence in today’s fast-moving visual culture. Challenge One challenge of this project was that not all of CinemAsia’s partners were familiar with graphic design software. I created Social Media Templates and a user guide in Canva, making the visual system easier for the team to use and adapt. In a cross-disciplinary collaboration, it was important to provide simple and accessible tools that allowed people with different backgrounds to take part in the creative process. <img width="1440" height="1891" width_o="1440" height_o="1891" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9cedeca7a90d3893c936adb9eb62c7ddc09f97b15cb1421cf4f2e3a3a56e1cb1/CA26_Poster.JPG" data-mid="248138609" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9cedeca7a90d3893c936adb9eb62c7ddc09f97b15cb1421cf4f2e3a3a56e1cb1/CA26_Poster.JPG" /> Flyer and brochure <img width="2528" height="1863" width_o="2528" height_o="1863" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/82bfca8c5c8e0d2e34768a5482d223e8728af1ef1ea295881beb2d4cf93f730f/CA26_Flyer.jpg" data-mid="248152856" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/82bfca8c5c8e0d2e34768a5482d223e8728af1ef1ea295881beb2d4cf93f730f/CA26_Flyer.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dfc77644541ab8064a56612b0a1a900e5c9319cb5b51ac76340f52afc829d302/CA26_Borchure_Cover.jpg" data-mid="248152994" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dfc77644541ab8064a56612b0a1a900e5c9319cb5b51ac76340f52afc829d302/CA26_Borchure_Cover.jpg" /><img width="3496" height="2232" width_o="3496" height_o="2232" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/95b2f2b75efd993c828a6b5b3abbbbfbd8c87e826b795491a9fafe3ac87b70b0/CA26_Borchure_8.jpg" data-mid="248152995" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/95b2f2b75efd993c828a6b5b3abbbbfbd8c87e826b795491a9fafe3ac87b70b0/CA26_Borchure_8.jpg" /><img width="3496" height="2232" width_o="3496" height_o="2232" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c254f9ad10ab979a959e1ee4c3b5d5ef0f022ec17ea302c22bc613ab1d710610/A4_Borchure_Mockup_32.jpg" data-mid="248152996" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c254f9ad10ab979a959e1ee4c3b5d5ef0f022ec17ea302c22bc613ab1d710610/A4_Borchure_Mockup_32.jpg" /><img width="3496" height="2232" width_o="3496" height_o="2232" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff56e20201935ad35f14abb133680c6c6a1c6b075ad8e66d2b9bbcbce54c2942/CA26_Borchure_30.jpg" data-mid="248152997" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff56e20201935ad35f14abb133680c6c6a1c6b075ad8e66d2b9bbcbce54c2942/CA26_Borchure_30.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04519a4ea5ee56afd535489277d40f3ff3417387e41bdf286797da75edcfa302/CA26_Brochure_Eyefilmmuseum.JPG" data-mid="248153005" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04519a4ea5ee56afd535489277d40f3ff3417387e41bdf286797da75edcfa302/CA26_Brochure_Eyefilmmuseum.JPG" />&nbsp;Borochure&nbsp;Displayment at Eye Filmmuseum.&nbsp;

The national flag, passport and banknote should be platforms of Taiwanese identity that reflect the country’s status and cultural identity. And indeed, they show an identity that is far from unambiguous. Next to the regular passport Taiwanese own a second passport for travels to China only. Alongside the national flag there is another one for participation in international organizations and events. While many use the name Taiwan the country is also known as Republic of China. And apart from the regular paper money, Taiwan also has another type of banknotes – Joss paper – which are burned in honour of ancestors, gods or ghosts. Concept Development In general, burning such symbolic objects is an act of denying or shaming the national identity. In Taiwan, however, burning has a double connotation of both protest and blessing. The project employs the colour black as a metaphor for burning, with ‘rebirth’ as the core concept. It presents a ground-breaking concept for the expression of nationality, incorporating different stages of Taiwan’s colonial past. The aim is to reinterpret the Taiwanese identities that have been denied, accepted or ‘forgotten’.

Through site visits to Jiantanshan and the former Taiwan Grand Shrine, the team explored the painting’s ‘orderliness’ via visual, sound, and bodily expressions. Three artists led a field study, culminating in events: Learn from Forest (group study), Prologue (performance), Sketch from Forest (workshops), Listen from Forest (sound performance), and Talk from Forest (discussions). These experiences echo Analogue Forest, evoking a sensory journey through nature. <img width="1500" height="800" width_o="1500" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/75f8c2d8d8aa993297c09e7af4e8e0a69bc0d5a45f8c7133d6e0e543eeba19e4/Scenery_near_Yuan-Shan.jpg" data-mid="223313706" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/75f8c2d8d8aa993297c09e7af4e8e0a69bc0d5a45f8c7133d6e0e543eeba19e4/Scenery_near_Yuan-Shan.jpg" />↑‘Scenery near Yuan-Shan’ (1928) painted by Hsueh-Hu Kuo (1908-2012) Photo credit by Taipei Fine Arts Museum.&nbsp;Educatiion used. Concept development Inspired by the painting ‘Scenery near Yuan-Shan’ (1928) by Hsueh-Hu Kuo (1908-2012) of the TFAM collection, the winning team of X-site organized the public program of five events entitled&nbsp;Sublime Project during the exhibition period of Analogue Forest. The team attempts to conduct an on-site study–returning to the original sites such as the Jiantanshan Hiking Trail and Taiwan Grand Shrine (now the Grand Hotel), and analogously identifies or establishes, by visual expression, sound creation, and corporal sensation, the ‘orderliness’ in the natural landscape illustrated in the painting. ‘Scenery near Yuan-Shan’ pivots on the public program which encourages a ‘group study in the field’ as the first step of enlightenment. Three invited artists of different disciplines will launch a field study to observe from various perspectives of art and to elaborate on the following events: natural nutrients cultivated from a ‘group study in the field’ in ‘Learn from forest’; opening performance as indicated in ‘Prologue’; workshops of symbolized vision in ‘Sketch form forest’; sound performance as visualized sound in ‘Listen from forest’, and talks on the subject of forest empathy in ‘Talk from forest’. The different types of events echo the concept of analogy to a forest in Analogue Forest and deduce the somatosensory memory and spatial experience during a promenade in the woods. <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dbabdf0ddf837a29ef72dc7f7c82d428e248c4784e0315267475e0793862ff89/XST_Programe_diagram.jpg" data-mid="223310433" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dbabdf0ddf837a29ef72dc7f7c82d428e248c4784e0315267475e0793862ff89/XST_Programe_diagram.jpg" /> Learn from forest −Wood from the other side of the bridgeHosted by Taiwan Nature Trail Society ‘Scenery near Yuan-Shan’ (1928) painted by Hsueh-Hu Kuo (1908-2012) in the TFAM collection dominates the overall program. Starting from the original site of the Jiantanshan Hiking Trail depicted in the painting, the invited artists will translate and create the fruits of the on-site survey from diverse artistic perspectives. The public is invited to join the team of Analogue Forest, departing from the TFAM plaza to take a closer look at the Meiji Bridge (now Zhongshan Bridge) and Taiwan Grand Shrine (now Grand Hotel) and then returning to the Jiantanshan woodland, mixing with non-/natural elements. The itinerary offers an opportunity to compare the ancient and modern rural landscapes in ‘Scenery near Yuan-Shan’ with a nearly hundred-year history. Through a guided tour of the history of humanities and natural features, the two forests are aligned with each other. The promenade allows the public to experience the conceptual threads of the artists in creation. <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e3fc3f2f67422a51b5c79f382fb5803c42eb213bfdfbb782b7718d703c940434/Xsite_sketch_opening.jpg" data-mid="223313828" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e3fc3f2f67422a51b5c79f382fb5803c42eb213bfdfbb782b7718d703c940434/Xsite_sketch_opening.jpg" /> ↑The sketch of&nbsp;Prologue Illustration by Yu-Tzu Huang Prologue – no forest, no word, no whisperHosted by visual artist Yu-Tzu Huang &amp; sound artist Yu-Jung Chen Comme de longs échos qui de loin se confondent Dans une ténébreuse et profonde unité, Vaste comme la nuit et comme la clarté, Les parfums, les couleurs et les sons se répondent. Correspondances Charles Baudelaire, 1821-1867 In “Prologue” as an opening prelude, the visual artist Yu-Tzu Huang and sound artist Yu-Jung Chen take as a text of inspiration ‘Scenery near Yuan-Shan’ by Hsueh-Hu Kuo and conduct a field survey on the now Jiantanshan Hiking Trail illustrated in the painting. In tune with the poem ‘Correspondances’ by C. Baudelaire, the artists explore the boundary between nature and non-nature with sounds as the overture, paired with a mirror installation, and with luminous ink to replace traditional ink in terms of material culture. They observe and perceive from different artistic perspectives, mixing the symbols of writing, improvisation, and disturbance to present an amalgam of light, color, and sound, so that viewers can return, either intentionally or unintentionally, to the forest in their minds. <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b063d332d13c7c93ace6d8f117ddb082bfd0d8af90c903f216bfe77a6b7f4e7/Xsite_sketch_v2-Day.jpg" data-mid="223313858" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b063d332d13c7c93ace6d8f117ddb082bfd0d8af90c903f216bfe77a6b7f4e7/Xsite_sketch_v2-Day.jpg" /> ↑The sketch of Sketch from forest Illustration by Yu-Tzu Huang Sketch from forest – Place of reflectionHosted by visual artist Yu-Tzu Huang In the workshop, the visual artist Yu-Tzu Huang will employ the symbols in ‘Scenery near Yuan-Shan’ to create a realm of its own, from which are pre-made the templates like a book of model paintings. She will work with the participants to transform non-physical things in nature and further propose the question: “When a forest fostered by nature turns into one intervened by social consciousness, does such a forest still exist?” The workshop features contemporary ink as a dominant technique, handmade writing tools, and mirror acrylic sheets and luminous ink replacing traditional canvas and ink. The handcrafted output implemented through the body is not only an improvised creation but part of body memory. Finally, taking advantage of the particularity of luminous ink in different spectra, the participants will create the difference between day and night in the forest, and reflect on their relationship with the forest. &nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/852a4589b9d82d5df47ba593e964ffe78c12a2e7a9927bce4682809d3decdf43/Xsite_sketch_listening_01.jpg" data-mid="223313920" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/852a4589b9d82d5df47ba593e964ffe78c12a2e7a9927bce4682809d3decdf43/Xsite_sketch_listening_01.jpg" />↑The sketch of Listen from forest Illustration by Yu-Tzu Huang Listen from forest – Soundscape reimagined in the memoryHosted by sound artist Yu-Jung Chen The sound artist Yu-Jung Chen collects numerous natural sounds to reconstruct the narratives of distinct sounds. He wonders “how the familiar soundscape in daily life provokes a new imagination of auditory experiences, through different listening methods and changes in the experience of corporal perceptions.” The artist encodes the sound archives, using multi-channel speakers to simulate the diversity and directionality of natural sounds in interaction with the on-site installation. In the current project, “delay” serves as the core concept of sound creation. It takes advantage of the characteristics of echo and reverberation in sound technology, digitally processing the sounds from the natural ecosystem with about 30-40 small speakers hidden in Analogue Forest. Through the abstract reconstruction of the sounds, the event guides visitors to re-experience the spatial field and itinerary constructed by the soundscape. <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eeb6d6799515506296ef106783981ffc7ffefda0c68bdc59e646fc2aa9506bf4/Xsite_sketch_v3_night.jpg" data-mid="223313917" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eeb6d6799515506296ef106783981ffc7ffefda0c68bdc59e646fc2aa9506bf4/Xsite_sketch_v3_night.jpg" /> ↑The sketch of Talk from forest Illustration&nbsp;by Yu-Tzu Huang Talk from forest – I am a moving treeHosted by visual artist Ju-An Hsieh “I will walk into a forest to let myself melt into it, my body and senses flow among the trees and sway with the wind, and then become them momentarily." by visual artist Ju-An Hsieh In recent years, the visual artist Ju-An Hsieh has eagerly visited different natural habitats through overseas travel and residence programs. She’s lived with plants and transformed what she saw and felt into works. In this talk, she will read aloud her notes of creation and share her stories of roaming in the forest and creation during the residence programs in the Netherlands, Estonia, Iceland, Taiwan, Japan, and other places. The form of the talk is inspired by the allusions in Aranyaka (Book of the Forest) from the Vedic era in India, which describes the elderly hermits living in the forest, replacing traditional sacrifices as a ritual with meditation–a thought combining ideas from religion, philosophy, and mysticism. In the event, the artist will write long prose about her creation experiences in diverse residence programs and turn it into “a handmade book presented through reading”. Meanwhile, the images and manuscripts of creation during her journeys will be displayed on the screen.&nbsp; In the last five minutes of the talk, the artist will also share with visitors a sound work based on the concept of “sacred trees” that she created during ART ITOYA (residence program) in Japan.

https://yutzuhuang.com/Paper-Money Paper Money BackgroundThe value of paper money is not limited to the “present world,” as real money must first be used to purchase it, before it is ceremonially burned to transfer its value into the afterlife.During the pandemic in 2022, when I was unable to return to Taiwan from the Netherlands to attend my grandfather’s funeral, the act of folding paper money became a personal ritual of mourning and remembrance. <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/202c43692114da55a923a493a4ac49c53ce949a136a910b07017578341fd6bcb/Paper-Money_01.jpeg" data-mid="248789498" border="0"

Yuan Bao(金元寶) are some of the paper money commonly used in Taiwan. The original intention behind folding Paper Lotus and Gold Yuan Bao is to provide comfort and prosperity for ancestors in the afterlife, allowing the deceased to purchase luxuries and live more easily in the spiritual world. These offerings also symbolise the devotion and contribution of a family during funeral rituals. The value of paper money is not limited to the “present world,” as real money must first be used to purchase it, before it is ceremonially burned to transfer its value into the afterlife. <img width="1070" height="939" width_o="1070" height_o="939" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04fd94ef3d8bb549c4241fc9a7a32332b225fe130e3d02c9acd0264fa2caaf72/Paper-Money_re.jpg" data-mid="248781506" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04fd94ef3d8bb549c4241fc9a7a32332b225fe130e3d02c9acd0264fa2caaf72/Paper-Money_re.jpg" /> In this project, I redesigned the graphics of the paper money by incorporating the Wangsheng Mantra and fictional currency denominations that do not exist in reality, reinterpreting the family’s deepest blessings and emotional devotion toward the deceased. Through the continuous manual labour of folding paper money, the work reflects on the relationship between money, spirituality, and ritual, while honouring the memory of her grandfather. I presented this project at the NON NATIVE NATIVE FAIR, held from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 July 2023 at Framer Framed Amsterdam.&nbsp;On the final day of the fair, I burned all of the paper lotuses folded throughout the fair period as a concluding ritual gesture, together with all participants. <img width="4079" height="6119" width_o="4079" height_o="6119" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a7044e22f2025244345454664fda435c0cee1a1816c383efa0d8eb88dda69b3/DSCF3187.jpg" data-mid="248788873" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a7044e22f2025244345454664fda435c0cee1a1816c383efa0d8eb88dda69b3/DSCF3187.jpg" />↑Photo by Chun-Yao Lin <img width="1246" height="1305" width_o="1246" height_o="1305" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87ca1b6da3fefbd47e645c891f75bfdb9e804a626871fc337f9bb0c1e93e7346/PaperMoney_07012023_FA-OT.jpg" data-mid="248789336" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87ca1b6da3fefbd47e645c891f75bfdb9e804a626871fc337f9bb0c1e93e7346/PaperMoney_07012023_FA-OT.jpg" /><img width="1499" height="1129" width_o="1499" height_o="1129" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d1447088c9b73b0ece2279c79f8a860d647c052560fd9292c7e860c8241b2c9d/Intro_2026.jpg" data-mid="248789275" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d1447088c9b73b0ece2279c79f8a860d647c052560fd9292c7e860c8241b2c9d/Intro_2026.jpg" /><img width="6088" height="4059" width_o="6088" height_o="4059" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e67696dbf64a009727bb7ad17d1c51322d59f5d6e6d2f7e04279c1f0dc7dfba/DSCF3259.jpg" data-mid="248789276" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e67696dbf64a009727bb7ad17d1c51322d59f5d6e6d2f7e04279c1f0dc7dfba/DSCF3259.jpg" /> <img width="6059" height="4039" width_o="6059" height_o="4039" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0044cba7402cd054e2ee178c7340d8b24e2d27367295d66e810ac8ec6d388085/DSCF3277.jpg" data-mid="248789277" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0044cba7402cd054e2ee178c7340d8b24e2d27367295d66e810ac8ec6d388085/DSCF3277.jpg" /><img width="4887" height="3258" width_o="4887" height_o="3258" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/438223ff9fc7c46547ca0bffc6e55c814ae8f1fc943c16a4cc1a7a29527b20b0/DSCF3300.jpg" data-mid="248789287" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/438223ff9fc7c46547ca0bffc6e55c814ae8f1fc943c16a4cc1a7a29527b20b0/DSCF3300.jpg" /><img width="6015" height="4010" width_o="6015" height_o="4010" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2553d8e3283d769c0a04512d6d52805501c440bba6ed4c82bfcb68567a7fe8a3/DSCF3325.jpg" data-mid="248789644" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2553d8e3283d769c0a04512d6d52805501c440bba6ed4c82bfcb68567a7fe8a3/DSCF3325.jpg" />↑Photo by Chun-Yao Lin <img width="680" height="893" width_o="680" height_o="893" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4bc7a24b1d3f5eb076e8c154a68091fceafd388fb19c54e782f6e086be5a7c09/Paper-Money_05.jpeg" data-mid="248789502" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/680/i/4bc7a24b1d3f5eb076e8c154a68091fceafd388fb19c54e782f6e086be5a7c09/Paper-Money_05.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bde1d9eb89b94753daca52d9c8219f090683ccbc87c89acaa76febe3b181256d/Paper-Money_06.jpeg" data-mid="248789291" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bde1d9eb89b94753daca52d9c8219f090683ccbc87c89acaa76febe3b181256d/Paper-Money_06.jpeg" />↑Photo by Yu-Tzu Huang
