Pigs squeak according to their daily needs. They squeak for food and newborn piglets squeak for “help” when their mothers’ enormous bodies come down on them. There are other types of squeaks. When we work on a non-automated pig farm, the sounds and squeaks have become a very important part of our job that requires extra attention.
This work records all the events that routinely take place on a pig farm. The real images and imaginative impressions of the easily mistaken sounds and corresponding images are placed side by side, overlapped, recalled, and are ultimately constructed into the reality heard and seen. Conflicts of visual and audio imaginations are used to describe the everyday feelings of one or multiple “very realistic” imaginations regarding a certain state of existence formed by real/fake, and abstract/concrete messages. The exhibition is held at National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung and will end on October 7, 2012 (http://www.ntmofa.gov.tw/english/ShowInfomation1_1.aspx?SN=3619&n=10134).
