#ATSinTaiwan#2025sustainabilitybiennale#永續共創雙年展#微光語錄#平Balance

永續,不是耀眼的瞬間,

而是平靜的日常。

我們願持續點亮這束微光,

以語錄陪伴旅程的前行。

Sustainability is not a dazzling moment,

but a calm, everyday practice.

We hope to keep this little light shining,

letting these words guide us along the journey.

Artworks 作品介紹:

<Found Paradise>

光影裝置|Light Installation

波蘭・克拉科夫|日本藝術與技術博物館 Manggha|2013|複合媒材

作品由 50 根半透明管狀結構組成,每一件皆為藝術家手繪,植物圖騰彷彿被火焰包覆。透過光與圖像的層疊,Wela 引導觀者反思能源使用與人類行為對地球平衡的影響。

This installation consists of 50 semi-transparent, hand-drawn tubes adorned with plant motifs that appear bathed in flames. Beyond its visual beauty, the work invites reflection on energy consumption and humanity’s impact on the planet’s balance.

<Butterfly Dream>

裝置藝術|Installation

2024|Wela Gallery|複合媒材|50 × 50 × 45 cm

《Butterfly Dream》象徵對自由與生命喜悅的嚮往。對 Wela 而言,行李箱是承載夢想的容器,象徵無拘束的旅程與內在的想像。

Butterfly Dream reflects a longing for freedom and joie de vivre. For Wela, the suitcase becomes a vessel of dreams, symbolizing travel without constraints and inner imagination.

<Multiplications>

光影裝置|Light Installation

街頭藝術節|法國 Sotteville-lès-Rouen|2006|複合媒材

作品由 500 件半透明管狀結構組成,流動的繪畫線條在空間中被不斷複製與延展。隨風擺動的光影柱體,開啟藝術與自然、真實與虛構之間的詩性對話。

Composed of 500 translucent tubular elements, Multiplications transforms fluid drawings into a spatial light installation. Swaying with the wind, the work explores the poetic dialogue between art and nature, reality and fiction.

<The Whisperers>

互動聲音裝置|Interactive Audio Installation

華沙・哥白尼科學中心 探索公園|2011|複合媒材

《The Whisperers》由 16 根感應立柱構成,透過感測器與喇叭即時回應觀者,播放水流、風、雨等自然聲響。作品象徵人類以科技重新接近自然的渴望,同時揭示其中的矛盾。

The Whisperers consists of 16 sensor-equipped columns that respond to visitors by diffusing natural sounds such as water, wind, and rain. The installation reflects humanity’s desire to reconnect with nature through artificial means, revealing a contemporary paradox.

Wela’ exhibition at Claude Monet House, Vétheuil

The exhibition of Wela’s works in Claude Monet’s former house in Vétheuil, as part of the “Artists in Our Gardens” art tour on Sunday, May 18, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
📍Claude Monet lived in this house from 1878 to 1881 and painted 200 paintings there. It was a rather difficult time for him, as his first wife and muse had died, but he also became closer to his second wife there. The owner, a tour guide with a passion for Monet’s life, will be able to tell you all the details.

Valizka – French-British exhibition, Wela Gallery, Gasny, 2024

Valizka is a playful variation on the word and title of the exhibition “Valizka, walizka, valise, …”.
The exhibition is a captivating exploration of the humble but meaningful object the suitcase. Through a series of art installations, visitors are invited to delve into a world where the suitcase becomes the catalyst for personal expressions and collective stories. From the excitement of travel to forced displacement and nomadic life, each suitcase tells a unique story, offering a deeply moving look at our world in constant motion. The word, or rather the image, evokes a response from the personal to the universal, the historical, the political. The forced displacement of people drags their lives into suitcases. The suitcase, simply as an object, can remind us of the excitement and anticipation of journeys undertaken. A small cream suitcase with a gold trim and a red tartan lining does just that. In contrast, a pile of worn-out suitcases can evoke stories of disrupted lives and hopes for new beginnings. Each guest artist interprets this theme in their own way, creating a rich and diverse mosaic of perspectives on this symbol that speaks to everyone.
