The theme of this exhibition, “Egress of the Spirit”, aims to emphasize the concept of creating an exit for the “Spirit” to travel. In the ancient Chinese linguistic context, the term initially referred to a Taoist practice known as “yuanshen chuti” (the ability to leave the body in the form of the spirit). This practice is part of the body and mind's process of harmonizing with the circulation of cosmic energy.
The purpose is to maximize the potential for “travel”, where the “travel of the spirit” represents the transcendence of one's spiritual self. The premise lies in “visualization”, a set of bodily techniques developed during the medieval period that require individuals to explore external landscapes while contemplating their own inner landscapes.
Through this practice, individuals shape their inward-oriented consciousness, discovering that the “self” is an integral part of nature. This concept offers insights into addressing the contemporary “lack of presence of mind” and the precise control over “attention” by modern social media.
The fleeting moments of the “egress of the spirit” give rise to various imaginaries, blending reality and illusion. These provide creative inspiration for the seven participating artists.
A total of 11 artworks are displayed by 7 artists, including paintings, installations, videos, photography, and other media.
