Fool's
Last
Curtain Call
This is an exhibition I had with my old friend Ning in August-September 2018, the site is in Taiwan. Our theme is to focus on say goodbye to everything we think is failure and we want to throw away. A life full of failure, fail for creation, fail for take care of myself , fail for adjust my emotion and fail for all the relationship I have with people. To forget, release and to say goodbye to myself and this kind of life. Had a completely ending with the exhibition.
There are four spaces in this exhibition, from the outside space to end of the room, include the public bathroom in the space are also a part of the show room.
The entrance have translucent fabrics hang on the ceiling, we used the fabrics to build a small maze, and the plastic paper with some words on it stick on the fabric. There's a heart in the middle of the maze, the heart was made by Ning, there's a recorder inside the heart and audience can hear it for the earphone.
I've drew this paint by myself, which is next to the maze but in the same area, it a reflection of me to describe the whole explanation of this exhibition.
The second room filled with lots of clothes and there's a tailoring machine inside the middle of the room, and the scripts that written by Ning. The script is the story of the performance Ning had for this exhibition. People can use the scissors on the table to cut the sentence they want.
The third room is a bathroom full of photos everywhere on the wall and floor, the photos took by me and Ning, people can take any photos they like to become a pieces of their own.
Last room is a performance room, she had a 40 minutes show to perform her scenario.
A person without open heart
A person want to hide herself
A letter that can't send it out
A drama without ending
A me that is hard to tell
Tidy up or a mess, we need to say goodbye to ourself, take a curtain with the kind of life.
The collection of the concept photos.
Spend some time to tidy up, try to put into a box, try to fold it or hang on the hanger, even try to put into the garbage can throw it away, feel unbearable, so I stop all my action. I was try to wear these clothes had lunch with you, I was wearing that costume while I was holding an umbrella with you. Memories can't be induce, these clothes should be complete.
There is a balance between memory and clothes, including a behaviour with a meaning and say goodbye to myself, even taking a bath, the water spilt out on my body, a smell form me or him just fade away. Decide to let a new of me to wear it, or just have good-bye to these emotion.
Moved to a new space, these are just temporary and it don't belong to me, open the baggage, filled with all the stuff of the toiletries in the restroom, used the chatters, I didn't bring any old stuff, expect the painting he drew for me, I give up everything except this one.
