這裡有102本駕駛指南，
請隨意翻閱，

「展場的窗外，右手邊的建國高架道，往國道一號，接65快速道路，
然後，他會告訴你，要下哪個交流道，那是回去的路。試著專心開車，不要沮喪。」

展期共102天，每天帶走一本，
它終究會全部消失，
但它（至少）會留下痕跡。

Candy Bird的新作〈專心（102天）〉以個人經歷及書寫出發，描繪關於時間、人際關係交疊下的消逝性。

Candy Bird拆解記憶中的自我，進行對話與反芻，使用輕薄的物件和影像，融合實際場域及觀眾互動，建構具存在感的抽象風景，引導觀眾踏上感知之旅，也呼應著無法以單一價值觀所定義的人生狀態。

Here are 102 copies of driver’s manual.
Please feel free to browse through them.

“Outside the window of the venue, the Jianguo Expressway is on your right-hand side. Take the National Highway No.1 and then Expressway No. 65. It will tell you the interchange at which you should get off, and it is the way back. Try to concentrate on driving, don’t get frustrated.”

The exhibition is on view for 102 days. A copy of the manual will be taken away per day.
They’ll be gone eventually, but they’ll (at least) leave traces.

Candy Bird’s newly created work Concentration (102 Days) is based on his personal experience and writing, depicting the inevitable dematerialization in the course of time and interpersonal relationships.

Candy Bird engages in an internal dialogue and rumination by disassembling the self in his memory. He blends easy-to-use objects and images into physical sites and visitor-oriented interactions, thereby constructing an abstract composition that conveys a sense of existence. He guides the visitors to embark on an adventure of perception, which also echoes the state of life that cannot be defined by any single philosophy.

Candy Bird

Born in 1982 in Taipei, Candy Bird began his career as an artist by graffiti with works featuring sociality and marginality, seeking to interpret the values overlooked by the mainstream media. From 2018 onwards, he shifted his focus onto portraying different dimensions and conditions of life and engaging in a profound dialogue with his innermost self. Following the concept of imbrication in graffiti, he employs pluralistic techniques and new narrative approaches such as collaborating with literature or contemporary dance. Up to now, his oeuvre spans the fields of painting, writing, performance, and public art. Candy Bird’s works were exhibited in Pingtung Art Museum, Chiayi Art Museum, Hong-gah Museum and Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Japan.
