Pei-Chen Wu

My inspiration came from Olafur Eliassons statement

of All works are made by layers and layers of deci-

sions. I would like to create a piece of work which

does the opposite, illustrating that a masterpiece

could be created by a collection of random decisions.

For this piece of work, I would like to illustrate the

relationships or links between myself and my family.

Being brought up from a Buddhism background, we

believe in past and present life and karma. We alsobelieve that we have known each other for more than

one life but in different relationship setting.

The work begins with inviting ve family members to

try different types of nuts that are commonly eaten

during Chinese New Year. I then ask them to random-

ly throw the empty nutshells and stones into the grid

on the oor. The throwaway parts have formed someinteresting patterns which were not thought of before.

I also took part in the video and these patterns were

used to discover the inter-relationship between my

family and me.

Yen-Ting Hsu

Time is running with rain and river.Time is stuck with rain and river as

well. Whilst recording the ritual of

Tsou (Aborigine in Taiwan), Yen-Ting

Hsu and her collaborator were strand-

ed in the Alishan mountain because

of Typhoon Morakot. Such experience

has led her to create Timeless Rain,

an exploration of time and a reection

on personal / collective memory.

Many effects are imprinted onto a person who is

within a particular culture and once it is applied it is

very difcult to remove, one may put on a disguise and

live in another character however there are occasions

where they revert back to being the original. Hence

I used this opportunity to express the personal point

of view of a minoritys requirement to integrate into a

different culture. Also probably to a lesser extend, I

believe to others this will echo the struggle of the con-

icting nature of a persons individuality against theexpectation of their society.

I focus more on the mask and face painting I begin to

relate to the mask itself. I can see the struggle between

playing a character and being ones self, and through

my experiences I found the subject to be one I like to

pursue further.

Painting 32, Yosifu

People say our tribe is like the setting sun

- going to disappear slowly behind the land-

scape very soon. From now on I want to usemy hand to show the colour and vibrancy of

our culture on my canvases, so that this may

build up our ancestoral awareness again - like

the sun rising up with its full original strength

and colours - hopefully!

From 1940s to 1990s Mandarin was pro-

moted as the main language of Taiwan, with

restrictions on the use of all other languages

inforced in the media, schools and publiclife. I remember as a child at school, if we

were caught speaking our mother tongue

rather than Mandarin, we were punished

either by a ne or by having to wear a sticker

saying that we were unpatriotic and did not

love our country enough! With this cultural

destruction over several decades, and withnone of our young generation now speaking

aboriginal languages as their rst language,

it may be that this aspect of our culture is

gone forever.

CHAO MIN-TZUA Way to Read the Life Stories through the Wedding Dresses of Taiwanese Women from 1884 to 2009.

A map not only shows geographical locations, but also tells stories. Symbols are used extensively in a map in order to convey infor-

mation and to achieve visual communication. In this project, modern symbolism is used to interpret times in which Taiwanese women

in four generations were born, lived and married. It seeks to understand the life experiences of Taiwanese women in a traditional, pa-

triarchal Han society, and to unveil these womens courageous spirit. Furthermore, by reviewing the history of social changes, politi-cal interventions and womens lives in the past few hundreds years in Taiwan, it helps to comprehend womens ever-changing lives

in modern Taiwan. An understanding of Confucianism helps us to understand Taiwanese womens situations over this time-span. In

a traditional Confucianism society, the value of paternity was emphasised, and the images of macho men and meek women were

favoured. A son was valued higher than a daughter, and education opportunities for women were restricted. Foot binding had been

considered fashionable for centuries, since it made a woman looked delicate and frail. Also related to the harm of womens body were

the comfort women (army prostitute) to serve the Japanese army in World War II when Taiwan was occupied by Japan. After the Jap-

anese occupation era, while Taiwanese started to gain their national initiative, social status of women also started to improve because

of the rise of feminism. Today, globalisation has brought even more changes to modern womens life in Taiwan

YU-EN HSIEH

Could Sleuthing out scent, hair remnants and dead letters lead us to the life someone

had here?Since moving into this at in south London two years ago, I have been receiving letters

addressing to someone named Catherine every now and then. I kept all of them in a box,

which belonged to her. But one time, by chance, I unwrapped a parcel and found her

resume lay inside, which allowed me to inform myself of all her experience.

She is a British actress, having been cast in Les Misrables and The Sound of Music, be-

ing able to do more than twenty accents. The acting resume even tells about her height

and hair colour. What was interesting about it was that Id never gotten to know some-

one this way. I then opened the letters and parcels that Id saved in the box for over a

year, in an attempt to piece together her life. There were birthday presents from friends,

check, bills, cash, etc. Through all these things, I gradually found out about her birthday,

her recent situation, her everyday life and her love.

Later, I went to the school shed done her drama training in, to watch musicals shed

performed in. I found the bed sheet she left in our room and I threw everything I collected

and experienced about her on it. So, there laid her memories and the trace of her life on

the bed in her room.

I will go on to piece together everything about her bit by bit.

This project seeks to create personal identity from ubiq-

uitous uniformity. I have assembled the pieces from a

standard IKEA at pack without following the instructions.

Instead, I have simply composed the kits into customized

furniture to suit my personal preference, adding some new

details along the way.

The process is liberating and brings a limitless attitude of

possibility to the at pack market.

LOPA is a bookstand, features four legs, which have been

colored in black. The structure is a single piece and is di-

vided into three segments that are interconnected.

BRIA is a double rhombus-like structure, which has beeninterconnected in a way that appears as though one of the

rhombuses is being derived out of the other. It has four

legs, which have been give a contrasting blue colour. Ideal

for stacks of books, BRIA is a unique take on the common

bookcase.

KENN features three major quadrilateral shapes and a trian-

gular niche created by the intersection of the three 4-sided

parts of this piece. Two red feet support one end, whilethe other side rests on the angled corner of the rightmost

rhomboid.

DALT the bookrack is a two pieces structure featuring geo-

metric shapes. The rack has two legs of contrasting green

color installed on one side, while the other side is balanced

with the help of a secondary structure.

Concept/idea explanation

(less than 150 words)

An extension of my existing recycled art project. I

have

reused these unwanted objects to create something

visually fun and interesting thus reminding everyone

tocherish the materials we have before throwing them

away.

Objects I nd are illustrated with an appropriate

environmental message, adjusting perceptions and

turning the old into new.

Lets create something new- lets start Recycling Art.

Part of the project entitled Chronicles of a Cure

The project explores the ephemeral, poly-sensorial experiences of the body, based on Jean Cocteaus 1952 book Opi-

um. Through an ongoing research into digital algorithms and simulations, environments were derived through a series of

exploratory spatial collages that correspond and capture these transient notions such as; a sense of sacredness, weight-

lessness, the disintegration of the boundaries between the body and its surroundings along with the spaces that engage

these saturated emotions and the heightened senses. The work inspects how the mythical sense of illusions and dreams

can be spatially constructed, incorporating playful manipulation of liquid, vapour, light and shadow.

Illustration drawing with Video Installation.

Paohan Chen

This animation is from a personal project.Starting from my own interest about the

relationship between head and mouth. It

was inspired by my studying experience in

the UK. As an overseas student from Tai-

wan, because of different culture environ-

ment and language barrier I have to wear a

mask as my condent protector to avoid the

misunderstanding embarrassment when I

communicate with people. According to this

situation, my project content is more about

how do people communicate with others

with their own mask as a lie between each

other? How to make a perfect undoubted

lie between people? And how do they ex-

press their mind into words. This animationpresent how do people communicate with

each other as a magic show? Communica-

tion is not only like the cunning magician but

also the silly magician assistants are making

all the audients become foolish.

The lm is based on the sense and space of

isolation in urban life. Structuralist style is used

to construct various continuous sequences.

The narrative is about a person how to occupy

different spaces in a city/London.

Narrative: When I sat down at the table near by

a window in a caf shop. I looked at outside.

A lot of people and cars passed through. I waswriting my diary. I listened to the undertone of

noises, and looked at the refection of myself

from the window. When I was seeing through

my reection, there was a bus passed by. I

saw another reection of mine on the bus. The

reections of my images were constantly over-

lapped and overlapped by seeing reectionsfrom different objects. Through reections, im-

ages of mine were transformed and twisted. It

seems to me that I was isolated by the glass.

From script to typography / From theatre to de-

signBackground

I used to express the script through acting while

I was in theatre. After I changed my eld to

design, I started using typography to express

the text. Somehow, I nd there is something

interesting between the transformations. Even

though I am now in a different area, still I am

dealing with the interpretation of words/lines.Exploring the potential of theatre lines to move

beyond the constraints of linguistic system, re-

ecting the true complexity of communication

and creating a typographic solution will be my

intention to this project.

Chosen script

Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen

Now I am burning your child, Thea. You, with

your curly hair. Your child and Ejlert Lovborgs.

Im burning it - burning your child.
