Sun Dried Fish

Located in a basin, Taipei is always hot and humid in summer. With a twist of imagination, artist Ya Chu Kang has decided to spread out a large fishing net in the alleyways of the city's East District. Through recreating the familiar sight of fish drying in the sun by a fishing port, she connects the scorching summer in the city to the memory of seashore. At night, the scalea of each fish glow in the dark as if the fish were swimming through the alleyways. It also resembles a starry sky studded with the artist’s warm wishes for the city.
