Totems record ancient stories passed down through generations. Pulimas narrate lives with land and nature through their carving. They also reveal a tangible ideological realm through their art. Taiwanese artist Ljailjai Tult (Shen Wanshun) installed seven colossal wooden figures next to the traditional slate house, an existing feature of the exhibition. Arranged in a linear progression from rudimentary carvings to finely detailed, from monochrome to colorful, these figures gaze intently forward, in a unified direction. Their gaze points towards the origins of the Austronesian language family—the dwelling place of ancestral spirits, the starting point for human life, language, culture, and mythologies. This place is also the subject of Ljailjai Tult’s work i tjaivililj (Our Future Tense).
