until there is no more sound from afarby <a href="https://sheulu.co/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Erica Sheu (徐璐)</a>"When we were hiding from the bomb at night, we could only light our way with incense." These are words from the artist's father on growing up in Kinmen during the Taiwan Strait Crisis (1958-1979). Through one physically extended loop of film, Sheu projects a slowed-down image of burning incense to reimagine and meditate on her father's childhood. An accompanying collage of texts and images scatter memories of the island around a 16mm projector, turning this installation into a somber monument built to understand her father.

Where Will She Go?by Phoebe Hart In this single person viewing experience, the guest enters a shrouded space to find a miniature ceramic theater. Center stage is a pepper’s ghost (a character illuminated onto a small piece of glass) of a stop-motion puppet moving through space. The main character’s performance animates through a magic lantern operated by the viewer. www.phoebejanehart.com

Who's Coming For Dinner?by Phoebe HartInspired by the artist’s eclectic dinner parties growing up, this miniature installation includes a dinner table, hand-crafted ceramic food, and papier mache arms protruding out of a wall, ready to eat. Opposite the table is a magic lantern operated by the viewer, projecting a series of faces above the arms and creating the illusion that you are guessing who might come to your dinner table! www.phoebejanehart.com

Superpower 2024by Gavati Wad and Nehal VyasSuperpower 2024 is an installation that responds to the absurd ideas and language used by political figures in India to manufacture a glorious legacy based on fiction and non-truths. It uses the format of a TV infomercial show to sell quick-fix products for any inappropriate dissenting thoughts that one may have. On the other hand, materials in the installation counter the narrative seen on television.Together, Nehal and Gavati run the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/artistsinrevolutioncollective/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Artists In Revolution Collective</a>.

I Sliced a Frame of the Timeby 莫茹杰 (Rujie Mo)Departing from her individual experience, the artist rethinks "photography" in terms of how it should exist and be communicated to the eye. In the constant interaction of light and time, “photography,” per se, has been made present through the primitive and instinctive nature of human eyes – viewing.
