Shadow Is The Light - 2024 Taiwan International Light Festival
History is constantly shaping the relationship between the present and the past, within which diverse knowledge and beliefs are developed from different experiences and choices. Now in the post-pandemic era, people鈥檚 daily life is undergoing various shifts, with our future ways of living gradually redefined. From small alterations in working, social, dietary, and recreational behaviors, to large-scale transformation and remodeling of industry, economy, technology, art, and culture, changes at all levels influence the way we see and perceive, with interpretations varying at different points in time. Analogous to the refraction of light, our mind serves as the medium, and through individual perception, each beam refracts different viewpoint and imagination.
In the 鈥�2024 Taiwan International Light Festival,鈥� National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts aims to utilize the event鈥檚 rich heritage accumulated in the past four years and responds to the contemporary context. Under the topic of 鈥淪hadow Is The Light鈥�, the curating focus centers on the changes and reflections of social consciousness, with the goal of evoking the viewers鈥� self-talk and exploration through visual experience. Between the light and the non-light where the buildups of the past merge with the perception of the present, possibilities for the future are expected to shine.
