Lunar of Lak-Tshat
2024 Baking Enamel Iron Plate, Metal Support
H110cm xW110cm x 8
Formosa North Coast Arts Festival
Installed in the intertidal zone of Shimen Cave, eight painted iron plates depict the waxing and waning of the moon. These "moons", varied in height and distance, seem to measure the daily changes of the tides, displacing different times at the same location, much like scientific illustrations of the moon's phases. "Lunar of Lak-Tshat" is the continuity of Lee Yung-chih's recent focus on material decay, traces and the sense of history in his work. The corrosion of the yellow paint by seawater accelerates the rusting process, and the "peeling moons" created by nature's force become a different kind of "moon eclipse".
Additional Information
Lunar of Lak-Tshat was destroyed by the waves three times, with more than half of the work disappearing. Fortunately, luck was on our side. Not only were all the pieces eventually recovered, but we were also able to assemble a "aftermath" version on the grass just in time for the exhibition's two weekends.
