The bustle of urban life contrasts sharply with the silence that accompanies the regular demolition of buildings or neighborhoods, which is no longer part of the ongoing narrative. Here, Chen Po-I takes us from the garrison villages of Taoyuan to the Haishan district in Kaohsiung, into the ruins of these gutted lives. The photographer captures buildings in that fragile moment when they are still ruins, traces of a past, before turning to dust and destined for oblivion. At the opposite end, the gestures of Alexia Fiasco and Edith Roux resemble farewell ceremonies. In neighborhoods slated for disappearance, both artists follow a similar approach, collecting rubble to inscribe the faces of those who once brought these places to life. The material breathes with the memory of the men and women who inhabited it. Their work seeks to create a tangible archive of this intangible loss. The candy boxes transform into funerary urns for buildings forever gone. Shreds of wallpaper recompose into shimmering tableaux. With Mia Liu, the very material of the images is altered to form an egg, a promise of an eternal new beginning to come.
