In this work, the artist Chia-Wei HSU explores history from an animal’s perspective. Beginning with a number of keywords searched online, he dissects the relationship between Taiwan and Asia in terms of historical context and physical geography. Deploying a range of visual narratives, he deconstructs the historical path of both the colonial period and globalization, and links these to East-Asian trade networks. The exhibition combines stories, images, history, religion, manzai comedy performance, and journalistic news reports to present a cross-cultural perspective that looks beyond the context of Taiwan, and forms a springboard from which we can reflect upon history.
