Sismographie du silence

This is an installation featuring a 40-minute performance rooted in the philosophical structure of dépassement du sujet—the collapse and transcendence of the subject, inspired by Georges Bataille. Through material resistance, bodily exhaustion, and the collapse of language, it gradually dismantles the boundaries of the self.

The spatial structure resists theatrical representation; it is not a locus of character or narrative, but rather a permeable field where the disintegration of the subject intersects with the spectators’ gaze. In this fluid zone, boundaries between interior and exterior, action and observation, presence and disappearance become indistinct, allowing the performance to function as an existential threshold.

 

About the company…

  • Her artistic approach encompasses a range of mediums, including video, sound, photography, painting, and poetry, both individually and in combination. The focus begins with the sensory and internal experiences of the body, expanding to explore the transformation of consciousness, the blurring/solidifying of boundaries between the self and others, and the notions of time and moments.

    Recent significant works include video exhibition the heart clock ticks soft and mild: sand, stones, notebook and boots as the curator, sound and poetry Snots, Boogers, Tears. Participation in Xavier Le Roy’s Temporary Title, 2015 (Taipei 2023) and Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel’s Landless Event at the 2022 Taipei Arts Festival.

  • Hello, I’m Yu-Fang Fu (Evelyn), an artist from Taiwan. I’m currently exploring different art forms to find a better way to express myself.

    I graduated from the Department of Drama at the National Taiwan University of Arts, with a background in acting, performing, and directing. My artistic interests focus on site-specific, intimate, and interactive forms of performance and installation. I’m particularly inspired by the work of Bobby Baker.

    My practice is rooted in everyday life. I strive to create works that are accessible and relatable, while still inviting contemplation and offering layered insights.
