[The script of this episode]
After moving past the “planet” and “air,” the next section on the right wall features works by Wu tseng-jung, an artist who shifted from architecture to painting. This exhibition includes five of his pieces related to architecture, such as his competition entry for the 228 Memorial Monument and a painting of the Taipei City Government. These works showcase his distinctive vision, shifting fluidly between painting and architecture.
On the left side of the section are two screening rooms, each showing a documentary: The first, Wu yao-tung’s The Journey—A film about Chen Kuen Lee features the life of the late architect Lee Chen-Kuen, with insights from five architects and scholars. The second, Fu Chang-Feng’s Deep Current – Architecture of Taiwan series examines the transformation of modern architecture in postwar Taiwan. This exhibition showcases the episode featuring architect Lee Chu-Yuan and his role in the evolving architectural landscape of power structure.
On display between the two screening rooms is Hung Hao-chun’s Plug-in Paradise. Inspired by the use of plug-ins and add-ons in traditional Taiwanese architecture, this work reflects on how, facing economic and spatial constraints, ordinary people have shaped a uniquely Taiwanese architectural culture.. Entering the work feels like stepping into the story of “The Peach Blossom Spring,” providing a healing experience that transitions from darkness to light.
