The Homecoming

Muay Thai was introduced to Taiwan when Thai migrant laborers came here to work. Han Reng-ding, a Taiwanese who for a long time had no fixed address, joined Li-Chin muay thai at age 22 and, for the first time, found a sense of belonging as he was learning the martial art. The boxing gym’s Thai head coach, Sonsumrit, took special care of him, and the migrant Thai workers taught him everything they knew about boxing and life. They were as close as family members for six years. However, Han’s life will unfold differently due to a new plan.

Song of maengkong

In the midst of political battles, people sang together, hoping for solidarity and a brighter future. The lyrics and syllables people used to chant always seemed to align with the song's ideals, but in reality, it's heading to a blurry past. The Maeng-Kong's cry, however, is not tied to a specific era that people yearned for. Their song simply echoes as their mating call rather than a political statement. The sound "Maeng-Kong-(Croak- Croak-)" howls; could we imagine a space of struggle and solidarity once more?

Part of...Olonyok

The Tano Bora, meaning ‘The Magnificent Five’ in Swahili, was the famed cheetah coalition here in the Masai Mara—captivating observers with their stealth, strategy, and striking beauty. The artist follows one of the cheetahs from the perspective of a follower, intuitively and visually connecting the traces of movement in the wilderness. The body image is used as a means of creation to extend the habitat of the animals beyond the frame. In this way, the cycle of "life and death" is explored, thus visually touching the traces of the fate of wild animals.

The No-One’s-Rose

Paul Celan, a poet who survived the Nazi Holocaust during World War II, ultimately met a tragic fate, taking his own life in the Seine River in 1970. More than half a century later, a young poet named K sits at her desk, engulfed in despair. Suddenly, she hears a rose humming. Responding to the rose’s call, she embarks on an extraordinary journey—moving between daily life and dream—to witness the destinies of poets who have fallen throughout history. A poet’s life may vanish, but poetry endlessly circulates, and a life beyond humanity continues to sing.
