Exhibition
Over the long course of history, as cultures and languages have shifted and unfolded into many forms, this exhibition asks how, through photography and the moving image, we can look back on the past and consider what it means to build an archive for the future. The B1F Exhibition Gallery serves as the Festival’s point of departure: beginning from the perspective of mobility and migration, it traces processes of transformation as the works register diverse influences from their environments. Where different voices intersect, affinities can sit alongside friction and misreading. Grounded in each artist’s own background, the moving-image and photographic works assembled here open onto a wide range of questions about such universal concerns as identity, historical memory, and society. Echoing the Festival’s overarching theme, Polyphonic Voices Bathed in Sunlight – 日花聲音, discrete tones and voices are drawn together into a multi-layered polyphony. Unconfined to any single site, these sounds reverberate throughout the Museum, so that the Festival as a whole feels wrapped in the presence of individual voices.
