Sans titre

Si j'existe dans ce monde, Je suis peut-être dans l'ombre

À quoi ça ressemble d'être moi ? À quoi ça ressemble d'être toi ?

Mais ça n'a pas d'importance

Ou vous pouvez me demander à quoi je ressemble

Je peux changer de couleur comme un caméléon

Je peux être toutes sortes de choses

J'aime toutes sortes de formes

Tant que j'ai le droit d'être quelque part.

ProjectLa place à la présence

Whether we, the storytellers, are in the present or the protagonists are in the present, or whether the readers and listeners are in the past, this presentation makes us to think about the possibility of history and oral storytelling while analysing the present in the archaeological past.

La place à la présence-En rêve

Que se passe-t-il quand on marche en rêve dans un mauvais rêve, pas vraiment un cauchemar mais quelque chose de pénible se trame dans ce rêve, il faudrait l’arrêter, ou retourner à son début et c’est impossible, alors plutôt en sortir que connaître la suite ; plutôt se réveiller.

Peut-être,peut-être...
pourrait-il se bander les yeux, ce serait mieux, pas à pas dans la pénombre avançant vers cette lueur, irrésistible.

Boum. boum. boum!
Le temps n’arrête pas d’avancer selon le rythme endiablé de son cœur guidé par l’excitation de l’inconnu.

little secret

Take me in, take me out

Slowly walk into it, can see some things you don't know,

transformation is a kind of clothing to put on the clothing to move forward

or do we need to take off the clothing?

Collaborative Exhibition ALL IN ATOMIQUE & JE SUIS PLUSIEURS

APR/2022

Collective ExhibitionDROUGHT

→ OCT/2023

Entre sous un rocher is a video projection on a flat screen set on a pile of stones. A voice tells us three stories. Nearby are two shelves containing various objects: (smaller) pebbles collected in Shafter and Tucson (but originating in Arizona and South Africa), a luminous terrestrial sphere, Polaroids, texts that can only be read under UV light, and a photo of her father framed on the wall.
During her journey, she follows in his footsteps, mixing his steps with hers and those of the group. Time and space are blurred, and the images are read like a diary. Chuih-Yu's process of exploration using ultra-violet light forces us to delve deeper into her memories and recollections. It's a recreation of an archaeological dig inspired by the gem markets of Tucson. Here, the objects are presented as relics with which a dialogue operates: "it's poetry that has to be read like fossils".
The stone and rock symbolise the territory and its various intrinsic links. But they are also commercial objects, illustrating the perspective of a multicultural world, crossing France, Taiwan, China and the United States. The borders (both spiritual and material) are different, of course, but the relationships to objects and images are similar.
