I Have Come to a Place Where Depression Caught Me out of the Blue

In this installation artist Wan Jen Chen has built an "under construction" scene with ready-made objects and video projection. Large ladders, shipping wood crates and construction barricades are placed in front of the light to create shadows that seem to be buildings of a city. If one observes closely, in between these architectural shadows are some small figures playing different types of sports.

A city is constantly developing in response to the needs of the time. The familiar streets are also slowly changing day after day. Sports are not simply physical exercises; they are games of energy and creativity. Sports are also about lifestyle and cultural trend. The installation layers all these aspects of the interaction between man and city. It is a dialogue on a never-ending loop between the static and the on-going construction, the intangible and the reality.
