Artistic Concept

Name of Artworks : Snail Paradise Trilogy: Setting Sail or Final Chapter

Media :Single-channel video, embroidery on canvas , paint on Perspex

Year : 2022  

Taiwan’s indigenous people have no written language, only oral history. The same is true in Africa, though there is a kind of bardic historian called a griot, who keeps the oral history. Based on the concept of the griot, this video sings the story of the great voyage of the African snail set to an ancient Paiwan tune used in praying for rain. In looking at the great exchange of species caused by human travel, the artist has explored the spread of the snail and collected plants related to snail cuisine, transforming them into paintings on Perspex, and embroidered documentations of history.
