Liang-Pin Tsao: Shimmers in the Drawer

May 08, 2014 - May 29, 2014
The exhibition title, Shimmers in the Drawer, is by and large an euphemistic metaphor. The word 鈥渟himmers鈥 alludes to the departed and bygones, while 鈥渄rawer鈥 refers to one鈥檚 mind. It is essentially about people and events that had left long-lasting imprints in one鈥檚 life. Despite separation or the passage of time, the memories and things they left behind still intertwine subtly with the lives of the keepers, revealing their close connection in the past as well as the disconnection at present.
Opening the drawer, and looking back at the items and memories that scattered inside. What do we do with the things that were once endowed with intimate feelings after breaking up? How do we settle down the memories that were displaced in reality? In terms of form, this exhibition may be comparable to a lost-and-found. Moreover, while waiting the lost items to be reclaimed by their owners, it also aims to evoke the diasporic memories.
