WanderingTill The Wind Whispers My Land
Wandering is not merely a journey through time and space but a state of inhabiting the in-between—where identity, culture, and belonging remain in flux. For Chinese artists in transit abroad, their practice unfolds within a parallax of presence and displacement—poised between the fading promises of globalisation and the tightening borders of a fractured present—never wholly rooted, nor ever fully severed. This exhibition brings together artists from diverse backgrounds, whose works explore communities entwined with their perspectives—places they have inhabited, drifted away from, or which exist only in memory and imagination.
Their artistic practice embodies an attempt to take root while in transit, yet also reveals the contradictions of belonging, and perhaps even the impossibility of ever truly doing so. My Land is not a fixed point of origin but a shifting horizon—forever approached, yet never fully reached. Each attempt to arrive becomes an infinite act of approach—like a tangent endlessly drawn towards its ideal sphere, always closer, yet forever beyond reach. And yet, it is within this perpetual oscillation between proximity and distance that new connections and ways of being emerge. Like the wind, these works carry matter, voices, memories, and affects across borders, resonating between loss and reinvention—making of wandering a generative force, a continual becoming.
