Chen, Sera - Everyday Fictionality: Behold Shadows of Illusion

Taipei, Taiwan, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, 2019. Softcover. green illustrated wraps w/ white & grey printing. light grey, illustrated paper dustjacket. 107 pgs w/ color illustrations. text in Chinese & English. Included in the "2019 Solo Exhibition Series II" is the immersive video installation, "Everyday Fictionality: Beholding Shadows of Illusion" by Sera Chen. Through studies on art, the artist seeks to deconstruct then reconstruct certain social issues, the environment, and existing "natureness", with new ways of seeing specific subject matters and ideologies proposed. Viewers are invited to examine ordinary everyday occurrences and things through the use of their own physical perceptions and to explore any meaning and implications that have been purposely constructed. Chen's artwork, The Habitat on The Skyline, is a video installation that shows the ubiquitous but unique residential view found in Taipei with rooftop addon units, which are dwellings that have emerged out of people's basic needs and are structures that have not been constructed based on precise architectural measurements and calculations. Chen sees this kind of structures as sculptures floating in mid-air in Taipei, and they represent a form of everyday aesthetic. Slowly playing on the duo-channel video installation are images of roof-top units shot at different locations, and the objective of the artwork is to encourage the audience to think about the connection between the organic emergence of these structures and Taiwan's socioeconomic and geographical conditions.--Taipei Fine Arts Museum.
