More Experiments｜Chuang Ho & Hsiao Yuchi "Chereographed Light"

Chuang Ho、Hsiao Yuchi

Oct 10 - Oct 25, 2026

In the season when light becomes less abundant, we present two artists whose works drawattention to how light is itself a medium that shapes perception and interacts with space, opening the same creative piece to varied receptions and interpretations. Moving between sculpted shadows and the luminous pulse of drawn animation, the exhibition explores illumination as a subtle and playful choreography—one that partners with shadows, delineates both spatial and socio-psychological landscapes, and quietly directs how we inhabit and remember our surroundings.

HSIAO Yuchi’s approach finds its anchor in the intimate architecture of daily life. Attuned to the crisp clarity and longer shadows of autumn, the work observes how natural daylight enters the home—filtering through curtains, casting the silhouettes of wind-stirred foliage against interior walls, and revealing faint reflections across windowpanes. These transient patches of sunlight, particularly the low-angled rays characteristic of cooler months, exist only for fleeting intervals before dissolving. Translating these ephemeral phenomena into hand-pinched sculptures and site-responsive light fixtures, HSIAO solidifies passing conditions into tactile forms. The resulting interplay between cast shadow, physical craft, and ambient light invites viewers to reflect on how sunlight silently governs architectural space, regional habit, and the unremarked rhythms of living.

In counterpart, light is treated by CHUANG Ho not as an external source to capture, but as an illuminated presence that projects from the screen. Working frame by frame, CHUANG renders hand-drawn animations on a remarkably minute scale, allowing individual marks—initially abstract and fragmented—to coalesce, in the process of viewing, into shapes and motions personally meaningful to each audience. By embracing intentional omissions and negative space, the work creates an inward emptiness that relies upon the viewer’s own associations to complete each scene. The smaller the gesture, the wider the imaginative resonance becomes, allowing reality and fiction to intertwine within the beam of light.

Together, these practices reveal light as an ongoing dialogue between presence and withdrawal. Whether condensed into quiet, stationary shadows or set into motion across drawn sequences, Choreographed Light asks viewers to pause before the faint, the shifting, and the overlooked, discovering how transient luminous traces continually reshape our shared and individual lived realities.
