Silence
Allows the black shadows to speak
To shift the bridges in their chests
To collage a piece of ocean in the shade of pink
And the idly exposed film
About the Performers:
Jam Wu
Born in Tainan, Taiwan, Jam Wu has a BA degree in architecture. His creative journey began in theater production. Through self-study, Wu traces the paper cutting history in Taiwan with his own practice, where hybrid colonialism and anecdotal research remain his primary concern. Executed in paper cutting, mixed media, and space construction, his work takes place in the form of participatory initiatives and print publications.
Wu has participated in several theater production projects, including My Dear and Camouflage by MeimageDance, Lunar Halo by Cloud Gate, A Midsummer Night's Dream by Golden Bough Theatre, and Bai Su Zhen by Theatre Company of Lee Qing Zhao the Private.
Yu-Jun Wang
As a sound artist, film score composer, theater musician, and singer, Yu-Jun Wang’s multidisciplinary practice stretches across music, film, theater, and performance. In recent years, her focus has pivoted toward the “experimental poetic” expanded from experimental sound and literature; the “multidimensional audio-visual” space expanded through dialogic imagery; the “polyphonic relationship” between music, sound, history, and humanities, as well as the “resonant soundscapes” that fuse environment sounds with human vocals.
Published works include the EP Concave, conceptual album The Tracks on the Beach, Abandoned Garden by Yu-Jun Wang & Times, The Initial Longing by Yu-Jun Wang & Times, and the eponymous album for the exhibition The Everlasting Bloom at the Museum of National Taipei University of Education. Wang also composed the soundtracks of VR film The Man Who Couldn't Leave, All That Remains, documentary The Pursuit of a Cinematic Dream: Tsai Ming-Liang, Over the Rainbow, as well as film Wild Sparrow and Visitors.
Recent group exhibitions includethe 2023 Green Island Human Rights Art Festival: Listening to the Overtones of Fissures, and the 2023 Matsu Biennial: Ruby Red After Summer.
Yi-Ting Chen
With a BA degree from the School of Dance, Taipei National University of the Arts, Yi-Ting Chen is a freelance performer. Her body pulsates with cadence and flow, each movement graceful and potent, allowing for scintillating interdisciplinary collaboration.
Chen has participated in a variety of performance projects, including Sadhu by Ku & Dancers, Panta Rhei and Touch by WCDance, Growth and Liberator by Tai Chi-Lun, Music Underwater by I-Shuo Lin, Through the Walls by Jam Wu, The Landless Events by Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel Art Collective (Val Lee), Shell and Bridge by Elephant Gym, and Inspection by Sandee Chan.
