Every day we grow more preoccupied with responsibilities and the experience of chaos around us. With increasing uncertainties and growing isolation in di erent communities, we constantly question how to inhabit and reclaim our place in the world while remaining attentive to myriad beings. For centuries, we have sought a diverse range of cosmological tools – from astrological birth charts, ancient practice of palm reading to the mapped energy fields of Human Design and beyond – to better understand our quest for selfdiscovery, yet we often remain oblivious to the multifaceted depths within us. Muted Hums invites viewers to attend to the forgotten expressions beneath the surface of daily life, to recognise the unspoken flows across dimensions and reconnect with unfamiliar aspects of ourselves. The exhibition prompts us to attune to the fluidity and interconnectedness of all beings, resurfacing entangled connections with past lives, generational legacies, ancestral knowledge and the cycles of ecosystems.
Drawing inspiration from the participating artists’ diverse personal approaches to how they explore the uncharted territories of inner landscapes, the exhibition directs viewers’ attention towards sensing and relating to dimensions that are often overlooked. It calls on us to be viscerally and closely aware of otherness – the otherness within us that is wild and unseen, which shapeshifts to survive, and the otherness present in all forms of life around us, both visible and invisible. From human-centric perspectives to non-human and multi-dimensional experiences, the symbiotic relationships between di erent beings are revealed
and extended, traversing di erent realms: bodies within bodies, worlds beyond worlds.
Upon entering the exhibition space, viewers are greeted by Oscar Chan Yik Long’s monstrous figures shapeshifting between horror and the sacred. Drawn into a horrific darkened projection, the appearance and presence of these mysterious beings confront viewers with the unknown and unknowable dimensions. This sitespecific projection at the beginning of the exhibition brings up disturbing memories and a sense of alienation, prompting reflections on fear. Guided by lights at the end of the corridor, viewers then leap over from an apocalyptic environment into a seemingly real space, flowing into the plurality of liminal worlds in Özlem
Altın’s mix of photomontage and painting on canvas, which exemplify a transitional state dissolving boundaries between inner and outer landscapes. Her compositions create an otherworldly and abstract atmosphere, full of hybrid beings that resonate with fragments of memories lingering within our bodies. These works convey the complexity of emotional states, grounding us in shared experiences. Speculating on unseen elements, Lêna Bùi’s layered paintings on silk and paper draw on personal visions from dreams and daily life. Her artworks bring to life invisible networks, unfolding other ways of existence in the worlds that connect us all. Their di used, atmospheric quality emphasises movements within and between bodies and the environments we cohabitate. These swirling patterns a rm the intricate relationships and systems we share with other ethereal beings.
In fragmented bodily sculptures, Man Mei To captures the repetitive gestures of rhythmic breathing, directing our attention to the body’s hidden currents of chi. Her work hints at the release of suppressed emotions and physical tensions, with spiralling motions symbolising an overpouring flow of energy that invites healing and renewal. Alongside resilient bent branches, these vulnerable forms highlight the body’s capacity to endure, transform and grow. These uncontrollable fates stemming from personal and collective traumas evolve into di erent lives across generations, mirroring the perpetual flow of life.
In Ling Pui Sze’s mixed-media installation, suspended loops of cardiac pulses stir memories of caring for her grandparents in their final days. The ascending and descending shifts unlock the pathways beyond bodies in between life and death, revealing intergenerational ties that ripple through time. The paper collage repurposing personal correspondence morphs into coded signals, an eternal tribute to a lasting legacy.
Christina Quarles’s paintings portray ambiguous figures found at the intersection of entangled identities, open to a spectrum of gender, race and mixed notions of identity. This multiplicity of selves defies limited perceptions of representation, confronting viewers within a state of excess, of fluidity and instability that suggests identity is not static but a constant process of reworking. Against a disorienting background that blurs the real and the virtual, her painting amplifies the tensions of power dynamics rooted in daily encounters. Her works invite viewers to cross beyond the physical
body into a trance-like, multi-dimensional state, connecting deeply with otherness to reshape their worldviews. Lêna Bùi’s floating textile work unveils a delicate mapping of the human body that elevates it to realms above and beyond. It makes us aware of the internal flows of energy and blood, resituating the body as essential for experiencing the world and sensing our connection to the broader web of life. Catalina Africa’s paintings provide insight into her nuanced dialogues with plant spirits and living landscape. The radiating contour lines illustrate energies passing through her body and surroundings, framing her role as an intermediary who translates for the invisible. Bearing witness to the earth’s magical aliveness, her practice cultivates collaboration and reclaims a reciprocal relationship with local ecologies.
Aycoobo -Wilson Rodríguez’s indigenous shamanistic practice results in works that emerge from expanded states of consciousness, reflecting cosmological, spiritual and animalistic beliefs. His intense colour palette evokes visionary imagery of all forms of energies and guardians of invisible dimensions, mediating the transmission of ancestral knowledge in the co-existence of all beings. Sharing this urgent notion of reconnecting with ancestral knowledge, Saodat Ismailova’s video o ers a non-linear narrative that delves into the invisible foundations of Central Asia. Inspired by the mystical beliefs in 18,000 worlds within a vast cosmological universe, her montage of archival footage invites viewers to navigate through layers of sensation and memory, fostering deep listening and connections to ancestral knowledge. By juxtaposing personal and collective memories with regional myths
and histories, she emphasises spiritual and mystic heritage as an alternative path to reconciliation.
The circular design of the exhibition directs us back to its starting point, continually illuminating layers of sensory experience through the prisms of our bodies. It creates a temporal space for discovery where we can confront and embrace our inner worlds through various artistic inquiries. The dimly lit environment, with subtle light filtering from curtains at specific thresholds, signifies transitions from one state to another – daydreaming to awakening, invisible to visible, stillness to movement, fragmented to whole. The wall text and captions guide visitors in a rotating manner, encouraging the movement of bodies and minds to synchronise with the spiralling inward journey.
By reconciling the small yet significant details emerging from di erent artistic observations, these quiet processes of embodied expression catalyse possibilities to reclaim dispersed energies and strengths.
Muted Hums encourages us to unravel the complex mapping of intimate selves and to reimagine who we can be beyond specific identities, social constructs and corporeal boundaries. These artists act as cartographers, not to define where we are or who we are, but to o er new perspectives that expand our personal mapping. This journey brings us closer to an ever-deepening study of our selves. In this everlasting process of becoming, we may find comfort and contentment within these intimate worlds marked by vulnerability. Together we will uncover the shimmering lights across the spectrum of existence and let go of our ghosts and shadows.

我們每天都忙於應對生活中的各種責任和周 遭的紛亂。面對每日俱增的無常與不同社群 間的隔閡，我們不斷追問：如何在關注萬物
生靈的同時，在這世上安身立命，並重掌自 身的位置？長久以來，人們一直尋求形形色 色的宇宙學工具――從占星命盤、古老的掌
相術，到人類圖的能量場圖譜等――藉此試 圖更深入認識自己，卻往往忽視了自身內心 深處的多重面向。「幽幽絮語」邀請觀眾凝視
日常表象下被遺忘的細語，感知那些跨越維 度的無聲潛流，並重新連結自我的陌生層面。
展覽邀請大家感受萬物的流動與關係，喚醒
我們與前世今生、世代傳承、祖傳智慧及生 態循環之間千絲萬縷的連結。
展覽圍繞參展藝術家探索內在未知領域的創
作路徑，讓觀眾聚焦並連結那些經常被忽略
的感知層面，呼喚我們敏銳地循內覺察「他 者」。他們潛藏於我們內心深處，狂野而隱秘、

生命形態之間的共生關係由此顯現，穿梭於 不同界域，得見身中之身、世外之世。
步入展廳，迎面而來的是陳翊朗塑造的怪 異形象，遊走於恐怖與神聖之間。於幽暗的 投影之中，神秘生物浮現而 出，使觀眾直面
未知與不可知的維度。這件場域特定作品為 展覽揭開序幕，喚起令人不安的記憶和疏離 感，引發對恐懼的思索。循着走廊盡頭的燈 光指引，觀眾從末日般的場景瞬間躍入一處 看似現實的空間，流動至Ö zlem A ltın

的創作扎根自其原住民薩滿傳統實踐中的擴 展意識狀態，反映了其宇宙觀，以及對於靈 性和動物的信仰。作品中強烈鮮明的色彩喚 起各種能量形態與無形守護者的幻象，在眾 生共存中調和並傳遞祖先智慧。S aodat
I smailova
的錄像作品同樣表達了重拾 祖輩智慧的迫切性，以非線性敘事探索中亞
文化的幽微脈絡。作品靈感源自於一種信仰： 在浩瀚宇宙中存在着18,000個世界。她透過 檔案影像的剪輯，引導觀眾游走於感官與記
憶的折疊之中，形塑深度聆聽並與跨世代連 結。她將個人和集體記憶與地域神話及歷史
並置，強調精神與神秘遺產是通往和解的另 一種可能。
展覽的迴旋路徑將我們帶回起點，從身體的 棱鏡映照出一層層的感官體驗。這個探索的 臨時空間讓我們藉由各種藝術實踐直面並擁 抱內在世界。幽暗的環境中，位處閾限的窗簾 灑落柔和的光線，象徵着狀態的過渡――從
幻夢到覺醒，從無形到有形，從靜止到流動， 從碎片到整體。展場文字以環繞的形態引領 觀眾，讓律動與內省的旅程同步。觀察這些
靜謐而身心交融的表現方式，當中或會浮現 細微卻重要的線索，讓人重拾能量和力氣。
「 幽幽絮語
」冀望大家剖析自我的複雜圖 景，超越特定的身份、社會建構和肉體界限， 重新想像存在的多重可能性。這些藝術家扮 演勘探引路者的角色，他們並未試圖界定我 們身在何處或身份為何，而是提供新的視角， 拓展我們個人認知的疆域。這段旅程引領我 們不斷深入探索自我，在這永恆的轉化中， 我們或許能在脆弱而隱密的世界中找到慰藉 與滿足。讓我們共同揭開存在光譜中閃爍的 微光，並放下那些縈迴的陰霾與幽影。

Oscar Chan Yik Long
陳翊朗
(b. 1988, Hong Kong; lives and works in Helsinki) （1988年生於香港，
Oscar Chan Yik Long’s practice centres on site-specific painting installations and drawing. Working primarily with ink, he creates immersive painted environments drawing on East Asian mythology, esoteric traditions and various aspects of popular visual culture and art history. Rather than adhering to the conventions of traditional Chinese painting, Chan forges his own visual language and symbolic world. His choice of medium and subjects is deeply personal and rooted in intellectual inquiry and spiritual reflection. His recent works explore the holistic relationship between body and mind in Chinese thought, particularly the connection between the internal organs and the fundamental emotions: fear, anger, anxiety, sadness and happiness.
Selected solo and duo exhibitions include Theyalwayslookfrom animaginedabove, Radvila Palace Museum of Art, Lithuania (2025–26); ToSleepandWakeUnafraid, PF25 Cultural Projects, Basel (2025); In the Darkness of Bones, St. Chads, London (2024); Certainpartieswerenotpleased, Cazul 101, Bucharest (2023); Don’t Leave the Dark Alone, Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong (2021); Soliquid, Things That Can Happen, Hong Kong (2017). Selected group shows include Morbus, Villa Gyllenberg, Helsinki (2025); MythMakers–SpectrosynthesisIII, Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong (2022); Futur,ancien,fugitif–unescènefrançaise, Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2019); Divided We Stand, Busan Biennale, Korea (2018).
陳翊朗以場域特定的裝置繪畫及素描創作為核 心。他以水墨為主要媒介，構築沉浸式的繪畫空 間，靈感源自東亞神話、秘辛傳統及不同領域的 流行視覺文化與藝術史。他不拘泥於傳統水墨規 範，而是建立屬於自身的視覺語言與符號體系。 陳氏選擇的媒介和主題都極為切身，根植於知性 的探索和精神的反思。近期作品聚焦於中國傳統 思想中的身心關係，尤其是內臟與基本情緒（恐 懼、憤怒、焦慮、悲傷和快樂）之間的連結。
曾參與的個展及雙人展包括「 They always look from an imagined above 」，立陶宛 Radvila Palace 博物館（ 2025–26 年）；「 To Sleep and Wake Unafraid 」，巴塞爾 PF25 文化項目 （2025 年）；「 In the Darkness of Bones 」，倫 敦St. Chads（2024年）；「 Certain parties were not pleased 」，布加勒斯特 Cazul 101（2023 年）；「不要讓黑暗獨自留下」，香港安全口畫 廊（ 2021 年）；「自由落體」，香港咩事藝術空 間（2017 年）。曾參與的聯展包括「 Morbus 」， 赫爾辛基 Villa Gyllenberg（2025 年）；「神話製 造者――光．合作用 III 」，香港大館當代美術館 （2022 年）；「 Futur, ancien, fugitif 」，巴黎東京 宮（2019年）；「雖然我們分隔兩地」，釜山雙年展 （2018年）。

This new commission creates a site-specific environment that confronts viewers the moment they enter the exhibition space. Under a timeless sky, visitors are lured into Chan’s wildly imaginative realm, where fantastical beasts coexist with haunting otherworldly beings unfolding against a chaotic background. The five folklore creatures reflect Chan’s interest in mythological characters from JourneytotheWest, a classic Chinese novel depicting an adventurous quest to the Western heaven in search of Buddhist sutras. Each character possesses a distinctive personality and strength, requiring a harmonious process of tuning and mutual support. His work metaphorically addresses the universal feeling of fear, which arises not only from su ering but also from encounters with the unknown. The artwork’s title, Arealityisjustwhatwetelleach otherit is, is a quote from one of the artist’s favourite horror movies In the Mouth of Madness (1994). This title reflects his belief in the fragility of reality and the terrors of the unknown, extending into the theme of reincarnation. Chan prompts us to explore the otherness of these figures, revealing insights into our deeper selves, and to question the performance of the fictional self we present to others.

ÖzlemAltın
(b. 1977 Goch; lives and works in Berlin)
（1977年生於戈赫， 現居柏林）
Özlem Altın explores the body at rest and the inanimate in action in her paintings, collages, photographs and artist books. To create her work, Altın draws from a photographic archive she has assembled over the years, combining found images with her own photographs into dense constellations where fragments resonate and invite viewers to attend to what unfolds between images. Recurring motifs such as the mask, the mermaid and the heron embody states of in-betweenness, merging human, animal and symbolic forms. Her work traces narratives that are at times mythological, engaging memory, perception and bodily experience.
Altın’s work has been presented at the Berlinische Galerie (2024); Kunstverein Braunschweig (2023); the 59th Venice Biennale (2022); Villa Romana, Florence (2021); MoMA, New York (2020); the 16th Istanbul Biennial (2019); and the 10th Berlin Biennial (2018). Altın received her MFA from Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam (2006) and has held teaching positions at HFBK Hamburg (2024–25), UMPRUM Prague (2023) and HGB Leipzig (2020–21). She received the Hannah Höch Förderpreis and Tiemann-Preis (both in 2024), has been awarded the Stiftung Kunstfonds Work Grant (2022) and was a Villa Romana Fellow 2020.
Özlem Altın的創作涵蓋繪畫、拼貼、攝影與藝術書籍，表現身 體與器物的交互動態。她從多年累積的攝影檔案中汲取素材， 編聯拾得和拍攝的照片，碎片之間相互共鳴，邀請觀者關注影 像之間的流動。作品中屢現的面具、人魚及蒼鷺等符號意象， 皆寓示着游離於界限之間的狀態，將人、獸與象徵形態交融。 她的作品追溯着神話般的敘事脈絡，牽引記憶、感知與身體 經驗。
其作品曾於柏林畫廊（2024 年）；布倫瑞克藝術協會（2023 年）；第五十九屆威尼斯雙年展（2022年）；Villa Romana（佛 羅倫斯，2021年）；現代藝術博物館MoMA（紐約，2020年）； 第十六屆伊斯坦布爾雙年展（2019 年）及第十屆柏林當代藝 術雙年展（2018年）展出。她獲鹿特丹Piet Zwart Institute藝 術碩士學位（2006年），並曾於漢堡美術學院（2024–25年）、 布拉格藝術、建築與設計學院（2023 年）及萊比錫視覺藝術 學院（2020–21 年）任教。她於 2024 年獲得 Hannah Höch Förderpreis及Tiemann-Preis獎項，於2022年獲得Stiftung Kunstfonds工作獎助，並於2020年成為Villa Romana獎助藝 術家。

Using photomontage and layered paint, Altın creates enigmatic collages that depict a complex network of imaginary worlds. Her works embody a hybridity of existence dissolving the boundaries between the organic and the artificial, and inner and outer landscapes. Her intricate contouring of images isolates fragments from their original contexts and reanimates them in her mythological language.
In Teeth,Jaw,Anchor, Altın explores the physical and metaphorical associations of these anatomical elements, unveiling complex masked emotional states. It employs a dominant palette of red, serving as a powerful transmitter of energies and highlighting the danger in accessing vulnerability. The work invites viewers to engage with interstitial spaces and contemplate the connections between bodily forms and themes of resilience.
Özlem Altın 運用影像拼貼和層疊的繪畫創作出神秘的蒙太奇 作品，編織出一張錯綜複雜的幻界之網。她的作品展現了存在 的混融狀態，消弭了有機與人工、內在與外在景觀的界限。她 精細勾勒出影像的輪廓，使片段從初始的語境中抽離，賦以生 命及神話之辭。
作品《牙齒、顎、錨》探討這些解剖元素所承載的身體意象與隱 喻聯想，揭示複雜且隱匿的情感狀態。作品採用鮮紅色調，散 發出強烈的能量傳遞，並突顯身體處於脆弱狀態下的危險性。
此作邀請觀眾探入縫隙之境，思考身體形態與韌性之間微妙 而深刻的聯繫。

其作品曾於多個展覽及放映中展出，包括第十五屆上海雙 年展（2025 年）；蘇黎世麥勒畫廊（2025 年）；京都藝術中心 （ 2025 年）；曼谷藝術雙年展（ 2024 年）；越南 Nguyễn Art Foundation（2024年）；新加坡亞洲電影資料館（2023年）； 濟州雙年展（2022 年）；光州國立亞洲文化殿堂（2021 年）； 以及沙迦藝術基金會（2018年）等。
This series of double-layered paintings originate from Bùi’s personal visions which traverse the dimensions of daily life and dream. Her process echoes automatic drawing, channelling heightened emotional states into frantic swirling patterns that emerge from the background and constantly evolve. The overlapping images draw the viewer into a closer observation of our intertwined relationships with ethereal beings. By depicting unseen life forces, her work expands our awareness and sensitivity to the world beyond the physical. It questions the human condition, suspended between wonder and void. The rhythmic visuals are mesmerising, highlighting the movements within and between all bodies, non-human beings and the co-habited worlds.
此系列的雙層畫作源自 Lêna Bùi 內心的幻象，穿越日常與夢境的不同維 度。她的創作過程呼應自動繪畫的精神，讓情感的洪流轉化為劇烈旋舞的 圖案，在背景中迭迭不息。層疊的畫面引導觀眾細察我們與虛幻之體的關 係。她的作品描繪了不可見的生命能量，讓我們的感知延展至物質以外的 世界，並對人類懸浮於驚異與虛空之間的存在狀態提出詰問。其作品強烈 的節奏感與視覺動態令人目眩神迷，彰顯所有身體、眾生和共居世界之間 的律動。

(b. 1990, Guangdong and raised in Hong Kong; lives and works in Hong Kong and London)
Man Mei-To’s artworks explore urban vistas and life by observing the intimacy of the body. Her aim is to raise awareness of the existence of all kinds of beings, as well as the connections between their fragility and silence by cloning, reconstructing or quantifying elements found in everyday life.
Man received a BA in painting at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT) in 2017 and obtained her MFA in sculpture from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London in 2024. She has been exhibited in international institutions including the Hive Center for Contemporary Art, Shanghai (2025); Ubicua Gallery, London (2025); Power Station of Art, Shanghai (2024); Tangent Projects, Barcelona (2024); Kyushu Geibun-kan, Fukuoka, Japan (2021); and CHAT- Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (2022), Rossi & Rossi (2020), Gallery EXIT (2020), Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences (2018) and Hong Kong Arts Centre (2017), all in Hong Kong. In 2021, she was selected for the Tai Kwun Contemporary Artists’ Studio residency programme.

The departure point for this newly commissioned series of three sculptures is Man’s bodily movements during breathing exercises. The fragmented curling forms capture these repetitive motions, reflecting the hidden currents of ‘chi’ and the tangled emotions inside the body. The flowing shapes symbolise a release of suppressed emotions and physical blockages from past traumas and experiences, highlighting the unconscious tension we often carry in our bodies.
Supported by bent branches, these vulnerable forms emphasise how our internal system connects to the external world, which is influenced by uncontrollable forces around us. Man’s work conveys the body’s resilience and ability to endure, transform and grow beyond its limits, mirroring the perpetual flow of life. It evokes a strong sense of renewal and the continual adaptation necessary for survival and healing. Man’s work invites viewers to listen attentively to their bodies and to reconnect with the invisible fluid self within.

這組全新委約的三件雕塑作品，以 文美桃在呼吸練習中的身體律動為 起點。碎裂而蜷曲的形態捕捉了這 些反覆的動作，映照隱伏的「氣」與 身體深處糾結的情緒。流動的線條 象徵過往創傷所積壓的情感和身體 阻塞的釋放，揭示我們身體中未被 察覺的緊繃與無意識的負荷。
脆弱的形體由彎曲的枝條支撐，強 調內在系統如何與外界相連，而這 外界又受不可控的力量牽引。她的 作品表現身體的韌性，以及在極限 中的耐受、轉化與生長，喻示着生 命不息的流動。它喚起強烈的更迭 感，並揭示生存與療癒所需的持續 調適。作品邀請觀眾傾聽身體的低 語，重新連結那潛伏、流動且難以 名狀的自我。

Ling Pui Sze
凌佩詩
(b. 1989, Guangzhou; lives and works in Hong Kong and Cambridge)
Ling Pui Sze has created a number of experimental ink and collage series in which she collects images of nature taken by various machines, such as microscopes and satellites that she then tears and reassembles into abstract images of creatures and landscapes that result in transfigured images that are both familiar and distant. The works manifest incidental organic forms, resembling the evolution of life and a reconstruction of another world on the canvas. Together with other media such as sculpture, video and installation, Ling explores the relationship between biological traits and the development of human society.
Ling graduated with a BFA from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2012, receiving the Wucius Wong Creative Ink Painting Award at graduation and an honourable mention for the Liu Kuo-sung Award in 2023. Solo exhibitions include Lifeismeanttobemessy, Grotto Fine Art, Hong Kong (2022); Itallbeginsinthe sea, Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong (2014). Group exhibitions include Livingpaper, Galerie du Monde, Hong Kong, (2024) and Humorin Ink, Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan (2021)· Ling is currently a senior research associate and artist-in-residence at the Intellectual Forum, Jesus College, the University of Cambridge.
（1989年生於廣州， 現居香港及劍橋）
凌佩詩的創作主要涵蓋實驗性水墨及拼貼，作品源於她以顯 微鏡、人造衛星等各類機器採集的大自然影像，並將其撕碎重 組為抽象的生物與景觀，呈現出既熟悉又疏離的變異畫面。作 品展現偶發的有機形態，宛如生命演化過程，在畫布上重建另 一個世界。凌氏亦結合雕塑、錄像及裝置等媒介，探討生物特 性與人類社會發展的關係。
凌氏於2012年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系，曾獲「王無邪水 墨創作獎」，並於 2023 年獲「劉國松水墨藝術獎」優選。個展 包括「集亂為序」，香港嘉圖現代藝術（2022 年）；「一切由海 洋開始」，香港安全口畫廊（2014年）。曾參與的聯展包括「活 紙」，香港世界畫廊（2024年）；「優墨」，台灣桃園市立美術館 （2021年）。凌氏現為劍橋大學耶穌學院 Intellectual Forum 高級研究助理及駐留藝術家。

Pulse is a newly commissioned installation that honours the memory of Ling‘s late grandparents. In her recent works, Ling primarily uses microscopic cell images as her material. This installation marks her first attempt to explore incorporating text from personal correspondence into her signature ink collages. These letters hold precious memories, filled with unspoken feelings of intimacy and support that she deeply cherishes and misses.
The installation features suspended loops imitating cardiac pulses, reminiscent of a heartbeat monitor from Ling’s time caring for her grandparents during hospital visits. She turns these rhythmic pulses into ascending and descending flows, unlocking the portal between life and death, while making intergenerational bonds visible. The textual paper collage morphs into hidden messages, o ering a lasting tribute to her grandparents’ legacy. Each loop serves as an intersection reaching beyond time and space, attuning to an embodied intelligence passed down through generations. Through this work, Ling seeks to transform grief and memories into a quiet awakening of the self, reminding us of the subtle ways intergenerational connections shape who we are and ripple through our lives.
《脈》是一件全新委約的裝置作品，承載着凌佩 詩對祖父母的深切追憶。她的近作多以顯微 細胞影像為素材，而此作則首次將私人書信 的文字融入她標誌性的水墨拼貼。這些信件 蘊藏珍貴記憶，滿溢未言的親密與扶持，是她 深深珍惜及懷念的情感印記。
裝置以懸浮的環狀結構模擬心臟的脈動，恍 如藝術家在醫院探望祖父母時所觀察到的心 電圖儀器律動。她將這些節奏化為起伏的流 線，開啟生死間的隱秘之門，並形塑一種跨世 代的紐帶。拼貼的文字化作隱密的訊息，成為 對祖輩遺澤的永誌。各個迴圈超越時空交錯， 調和着代代相傳的睿智。藝術家藉此作試圖 將悲傷與記憶轉化為靜謐的自我覺醒，提醒 我們那些跨世代的微妙聯繫，如何塑造我們 的存在，並在個體之間漣漪不息。

Christina Quarles’s practice spans drawing, painting and installation as she works to dismantle assumptions and engrained beliefs surrounding identity and the human figure. She received an MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2016 and holds a BA from Hampshire College. In 2015 Quarles received the Robert Schoelkopf Fellowship at Yale University, and was a participant at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2016. In 2017 she received the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant and participated in the Fountainhead Residency that same year. In 2019 she became the inaugural recipient of the Pérez Art Museum Miami Prize.
In 2022, Quarles’s work was featured in The Milk of Dreams, the 59th Venice Biennale, curated by Cecilia Alemani and in manifesto offragility, the 16th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art, curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath. In 2023, she had a solo exhibition, ChristinaQuarles:CollapsedTime, at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin.
（1985年生於芝加哥， 現居洛杉磯）
Christina Quarles 的創作涵蓋素 描、繪畫及裝置，解構圍繞身份與 人體形象的既定假設與信念。她於2016年獲耶 魯大學藝術學院藝術碩士學位，並持有漢普郡學 院藝術學士學位。Quarles於2015年獲耶魯大學 Robert Schoelkopf 獎學金，其後於2016年參 與史勾西根繪畫雕塑學校的項目。她於2017年 獲Rema Hort Mann 基金會新銳藝術家獎及參與 Fountainhead駐留計劃，並於2019年成為邁阿 密佩雷斯美術館獎的首屆得主。
Quarles的作品於2022年參與由Cecilia Alemani 策展的第五十九屆威尼斯雙年展「夢之乳」，以 及由Sam Bardaouil與Till Fellrath策展的第十六 屆里昂當代藝術雙年展「脆弱宣言」。她於 2023 年柏林漢堡火車站美術館舉辦個展「 Christina Quarles: Collapsed Time 」。
The intertwined fleshy figures in Quarles’s paintings embody a sense of instability and disorientation, rejecting any straightforward perceptions of the complexities of intimate and sexual relationships. She draws attention to the intimacy within oneself, portraying each body to be multiply situated, full of contradictions and possibilities. Her work encourages viewers to consider identity as fluid rather than fixed, existing on a spectrum that emphasises the constant process of renegotiation and rediscovery.
Against the dark and patterned backgrounds that obscure the separation between reality and virtual space, her scenes amplify the tensions within the fragmented figures and the complex power dynamics of everyday encounters. The elongated body parts often extend to the edges of the canvas, reinforcing the uncontainable nature of the self while seeking to connect with others. Quarles sees her works as portraits of living within your body, rather than looking at a body.
Christina Quarles畫作中交纏的肉身呈現出一種不穩與迷失
的狀態，拒絕對親密及性關係的簡化認知。她強調內在的親密 性，將身體描繪為多重定位的場域，充滿矛盾、張力與潛藏的 可能。作品鼓勵觀眾將身份視為流動的存在，會不斷重構、再 現與自我協商。
畫面中的黯紋背景模糊了現實與虛擬空間的界限，場景放大 了零碎的身體及日常互動中權力關係的複雜張力。肢體常延 伸至畫布邊緣，強調自我無法被束縛的特質，同時尋求與他者 的連結。Quarles認為她的作品是「活在身體內」的肖像，而非 單純觀看身體。

Africa views herself and her work as a portal to connect with the spirits and invisible energies of the natural world. She embeds herself in the landscape and often visualises the unseen aspects of local ecologies, highlighting the intricate entanglement and reciprocal relationships among all beings. Her paintings feature symmetrical contouring lines radiating from the centre of the canvas, evoking a vibrant energy. The imagery conveys a sense of regeneration and invites viewers to speculate on other dimensions revealed through her work. The emanating energies visualise the earth’s magical aliveness, recognising the pulse of vibrant life surrounding us. A recurring motif in her work is the hand, symbolising the intentional acts of human beings to connect and intervene in their environment. This gesture emphasises the potential to build a closer relationship with the landscape and a broader understanding of our place within the ecological web. Africa’s work resembles topographical mapping, extending lines of inquiry beyond human-centric perspectives.
Catalina Africa 視自己與其作品為通往自然之靈與無形能量 的門徑。她將自身融入大地之中，致力於展現地方生態中幽微 不可見的層面，強調萬物之間交纏互依、彼此回應的關係。畫 面中對稱的線條自畫布中央輻射而出，喚起蓬勃律動的能量。 影像蘊含再生的意象，邀請觀眾遐思其中悄然顯現的多重維 度。那些流溢的能量形諸筆下，呈現大地的魔幻生機，讓人感 知環繞周遭的生命脈動。作品中屢見手的意象，象徵人類有 意識地連結、介入環境的行動。此舉亦指向我們與山川大地 締結更親近關係的潛能，以及洞曉自身於生態網絡中所居之 位。Africa 的創作如地形圖般延展，縱橫探問超越人本視角的 可能。

Aycoobo -Wilson
Rodríguez
(b. 1967, La Chorrera, Amazonas; lives and works in Bogota)
Aycoobo-Wilson Rodríguez is the son and heir of Abel Rodríguez, the esteemed botanist and foundational figure in contemporary Indigenous art. Positioned at the intersection of ancestral knowledge and contemporary discourse, Rodríguez has emerged as a key voice in global Indigenous art. His works on paper, many of which emerge from deep states of consciousness during ayahuascainduced astral journeys, positioning his work within a visionary tradition and a ritual epistemolo, stand out for their intense, contrasting colour palettes that activate visionary imagery. Through these narratives, Rodríguez reveals invisible dimensions that coexist with material reality but remain imperceptible due to the alienation of modernity. In the cosmology of the Huitoto people, to whom Rodríguez belongs, all beings of the forest – natural and metaphysical – are life’s fundamental sources. His practice a rms this unity, questioning Western divisions between nature and culture and reintegrating lineage, territory and collective memory. His work is both portal and testimony, rooted in Indigenous philosophy and knowledge.
Rodríguez’s work has been presented at the Museo de Arte Moderno (2025); the 60th Venice Biennale, Foreigners Everywhere (2024); the 1st Amazon Biennial (2023); and the 1st Toronto Biennial of Art (2019).
（1967年生於亞馬遜拉喬 雷拉，現居波哥大）
Aycoobo-Wilson Rodríguez是著名 植物學家及當代原住民藝術奠基者 Abel Rodríguez之子與傳承者。其 創作立足於祖傳知識與當代論述的 交匯點，使其成為全球原住民藝術 的重要一員。Rodríguez的紙本作品 多源自服用死藤水後進入深層意識 狀態神遊天際的旅程，與幻視傳統 與儀式知識體系對話，並以強烈的 對比色彩喚醒視覺中的靈性意象。他透過這些敘事揭示與物質現實共存、卻因現代疏離而隱蔽的幽 維。在其所屬的Huitoto族宇宙觀中，森林中一切萬物，無論自然玄冥，皆為生命本源。他的創作肯定 這種一體性，質疑西方對自然與文化的分割，並重新連結血脈、疆土與集體記憶。其作品既為門徑， 亦為見證，深植原住民哲思與智慧。

Rodríguez inherited a legacy rich in botanical knowledge of Amazonian plants and his art reflects visions that emerge within him during shamanic practice, embodying indigenous spiritual and animalistic beliefs. Although he was displaced from his ancestral territory, Rodríguez confronts the ontological tensions imposed by colonial modernity, advocating a deeper spiritual connection with the natural world.
The painting Vibración depicts an elderly woman in an expanded state of consciousness, a rming the multiplicity of existence; the vibrant colours and composition reveal the constellations of both visible and invisible universes. In Arbolpinta, recurring motifs like birds, butterflies and the vine of yagé transcend mere representation to provide insights into the interconnectedness of all beings. These intense visionary images o er an alternative lens to access the Nonuya cosmogony worldview, honouring the importance of co-existence with di erent dimensions of life and reality.
Aycoobo-Wilson Rodríguez
承襲了亞馬遜地區豐富的植物學傳統知識，其創作反映在 薩滿儀式中從意識浮現的內在幻像，體現原住民的靈性信仰與萬獸有靈的觀點。儘管被 迫離開祖傳土地，Rodríguez 仍直 面殖民現代化帶來的價值觀矛盾， 並倡導與自然世界建立更深層的精 神連結。

Saodat Ismailova
(b. 1981, Tashkent; lives and works in Paris and Tashkent)
Saodat Ismailova is an Uzbek filmmaker and artist who came of age in the post-Soviet era. Interweaving rituals, myths and dreams within the tapestry of everyday life, her films investigate the historically complex and layered culture of Central Asia. Frequently based around oral stories and exploring systems of knowledge suppressed by globalised modernity, her works hover between visible and invisible worlds.
In 2021, Ismailova initiated Davra research collective to develop the Central Asian art scene. In 2025, she participated in Fondation Pernod Ricard’s Nouveau Programme. She is the recipient of the Eye Art & Film Prize, Amsterdam (2022) and the Medal of Art Basel (2025). Her works has been exhibited internationally, including selected solo exhibition at Museo Amparo, Puebla, Mexico (2025); Kunsthalle Lisbon, Lisbon (2025); Hangar Biccoca, Milan (2024); Le Fresnoy, National Center for Contemporary Arts, Lille, France (2023); Eye Film Museum, Amsterdam (2023), Group exhibition at Asia Pacific Triennale of Contemporary Arts (2024), Shanghai Biennale of Arts (2024), Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale (2024), Sharjah Biennial of Arts (2023), 59th Biennale Arte, Venice (2022); documenta fifteen, Kassel (2022), and others.
（1981年生於塔什干， 現居巴黎及塔什干）
Saodat Ismailova是一位成長於後蘇聯時期的烏 茲別克電影創作者及藝術家。她的影像創作將儀 式、神話與夢境交織在日常生活之中，探究中亞 文化在歷史中所呈現的複雜性與多重層次。她的 作品常以口述故事為基礎，探索在全球化現代性 下被壓制的知識體系，遊走於可見與不可見的世 界之間。
Ismailova於2021年創立「 Davra 」研究團體，以 推動中亞藝術發展。她於2025年參與Fondation Pernod Ricard的Nouveau Programme。她曾獲 阿姆斯特丹「 Eye藝術與電影獎」（2022年）及「巴 塞爾藝術獎」（2025年）。作品曾於多個國際機構 展出，個展包括墨西哥普埃布拉Museo Amparo （2025 年），里斯本 Kunsthalle Lisbon（2025 年），米蘭 Hangar Biccoca（2024 年），法國國 立當代藝術工作室Le Fresnoy（2023年），阿姆 斯特丹Eye Film Museum（2023年）。曾參與的 聯展包括亞太藝術三年展（2024年），上海雙年展 （2024年），迪里耶當代藝術雙年展（2024年）， 沙迦雙年展（2023年），第五十九屆威尼斯雙年展 （2022年）及卡塞爾文獻展（2022年）等。

The title 18,000Worlds draws on the Uzbek mystical belief that the world we inhabit is just one among 18,000 worlds in an infinite cosmological universe. Ismailova has been familiar with this idea since childhood, and was also inspired by the Persian philosopher Shihab al-Din Yahya al-Suhrawardi, whose teachings explore the interrelation of light and darkness, emphasising that truth is revealed through light. Bringing together archival footage Ismailova has recorded across Central Asia between 2004–22, the montage unfolds a non-linear narrative that weaves together personal and collective memories through layers of images and sensations. The sequential mix of fragmented visuals emerges as coded signals from other parallel existences, forming visions of wholeness.
The work highlights the danger of losing connection with our ancestors and the invaluable knowledge they hold. The whispered verses shape an enchanting sensory experience that attunes viewers to their inner lights of perception. Visitors are invited to experience the work in a comfortable reclining position, guided by a voiceover recorded by a female protagonist, intended to open their senses to deep listening and healing. Ismailova’s film completes the exhibition journey, illuminating the profound connections between the self, ancestral and cosmos.
作品標題《18,000個世界》源自烏茲別克的神秘信仰，認為我們所居住的世界只是無垠 宇宙中一萬八千個世界之一。Saodat Ismailova 自幼便熟知此觀念，同時亦深受波斯哲 學家Shihab al-Din Yahya al-Suhrawardi的啟發，其思辯深入探討光與暗的交織，強調 真理是通過光所顯現。藝術家將2004年至2022年間在中亞各地所拍攝的影像資料編 織成蒙太奇，以非線性敘事展 開，於層疊的視覺與感官之中交 錯個人與集體的記憶。這些影像 片斷如同來自平行世界的編碼密 訊，凝聚成對萬物整體的觀照。

作品強調了與祖先脈絡失聯所 帶來的危機，以及他們所留傳的 睿智。低沉輕柔的吟誦塑造出一 種令人着迷的感官體驗，引導觀 者回歸內在的靈光，重新校準感 知的頻率。觀眾以舒適的躺姿來 體驗作品，藉由女主角的旁白引 導，開啟深層的聆聽與療癒感 受。作品亦為展覽旅程劃下句 點，映照自我、祖先與宇宙之間 深刻的聯繫。
