[The script of this episode] The exhibition begins with the “Ceremony” section. As you step into the gallery, the first thing that catches your attention is Lai Po-wei’s Parasitic Temples—an installation of hanging beadwork shaped like a temple roof. Lai has long explored these small temples in urban areas. Through field research, he carefully documents and categorizes them. The photos and materials on the walls present the result of his dedicated work over the years. The accompanying book on display provides a diverse and thorough examination of Taiwan’s micro religious spaces. As you continue through the gallery, you might notice the sounds of drums from across the gallery. This work, Ku Shih-Yung’s* Echo*, features eight large stone images on the wall, each covered with a layer of stone powder and attached to drumsticks on pedals. You are invited to remove your headphones and step onto the pedals, feeling the drumstick’s impact on the canvas, which causes the stone powder to fall like dust. Meanwhile, the drumsticks also trigger sounds inspired by nature, such as birds singing, insects chirping, streams flowing, or thunder roaring. These sounds echo through the space like in a valley, revealing nature’s energy and evoking a sense of awe toward unknown forces. ---------- The Architecture of Fear and Cure 2025.10.04-2026.01.25 ｜Curator｜ROAN Ching-yueh ｜Artists｜YIN Zi-jie, Boonserm PREMTHADA, WU Tseng-jung, WU Yao-tung, MATSUDA Kazuhisa, HUNG Hao-chun, HSU Ting, FU Chang-feng, Divooe ZEIN, FCHY Architect Lab, LIAO Wei-li, Yannick DAUBY, CHEN Donghua, Kay Ngee Tan Architects, LAI Po-wei, KU Shih-yung ｜More Information｜https://ntcart.museum/EN/exhibition/H2508001
