|
Memento is a contemplation of the human condition: how we act and react to the inescapable forces that shape us, presented in a walk-through installation of ropes, cut silhouttes, sound and video. The installation has been developed out of research into the plight of illegal immigrants who often take great risks in the hope of living a more significant and meaningful life. Memento reflects on the displaced, forgotten and unseen yet remains poetically open-ended, embracing multiple interpretations. It is a continuation of Piens' interest in the otherwordly, invisibility, disappearance and journeys.
Ed Pien is a Taiwanese artist based in Canada. Pien has exhibited internationally including the Drawing Centre, New York: La Biennale De Montreal: Centro Nacional de Las Artes, Mexico City; plAAy, Blackburn and The Goethe Insitute, Berlin. Memento is commissioned by Chinese Arts Centre. |
