Miss Farewell
Liao Chi-Yu Solo Exhibition
During：2012/02/11 - 2012/3/10
Opening：2012/02/11(Sat.)7:00p.m.
Liao Chi-Yu is particularly adept in the use of role-play and open-ended narrative to explore subtle and complicated feelings of life, regarding body experiences, memory and love.
Her solo exhibition this time includes a selection of items of two series. First, it displays an expansion of “TWINKLE Series,” which describes imaginations and experiences about cultures and foods, common to most people, through images of a number of dining tables with particular food elements and characters. Images intertwined with fictional statements are arranged in an order to kindle people’s imaginations or recollections ever surrounding a dining table, telling touching stories full of subtle sensations and true love.
The other part of this exhibition is a brand new series just released. It attempts to grasp and portray unexpected sadness and sense of loss in lives. The work is composed of statements and images of fictional characters, representing a certain status of one’s life. Stories are interspersed with flashbacks, just like those multiple fragments of memory of life. Images overlapping in time show that the good and the bad of lives might exist at the same time. Those minor mishaps and sorrows could be an affliction, but also be a starting point for you to find what happiness really is.
