Wu Jiaru’'s latest project “A Brief Digression" is exhibited in an industrial space, exploring the encounters of objects in movement through a series of installations. It reconsiders the potential social significance of the act of "mobility" itself. Beyond the value of a carefully wrapped object as a commodity, can its journey create new social value? "Package" often encapsulates intimate stories that drift from one end of the ocean to an unknown destination, with no promise of arrival. These objects act as primal carriers of information and hope, reaching unattainable places and intertwining political and personal narratives. Through a series of improvisational approaches, the artist creates site-specific works about the mobility and protection of social objects. The audience, viewing from the god's perspective, can engage with the object's narrative and create new stories for it.

吳佳儒最新項目「 不達」於工業空間展出,透過一系列的裝置探索物件在流動中的遭遇,重新思考物件「流動」這一行動本身可能存在的社會意義,一件悉心包裹的物件,除了其作為商品的價值,它的流動過程是否可以產生新的社會價值?「包裹」往往裝載著種種私密的故事,從海洋的一端漂流到未知的另一端,卻無法承諾抵達;它們被作為信息與希望的原始載體,抵達不可抵達之處,交織著政治與私人的敘事。藝術家透過一系列即興創作的方式為觀眾打造一個關於社會物件的裝載和流動的場域特定作品,觀眾可以從上帝視角進入該物件的敘事並嘗試為它創造新的故事。
