Neon of Sin-iânn
2025 Five-Channel Video Installation
Xingying Shimmer Festival
Through field research in Sin-iânn (Taiwanese Hokkien for Xinying), this project examines both the vanished and still-existing historical industrial logos of the region. These visual remnants are reimagined and transformed into fictional neon renderings, presented on LED light panels dispersed throughout the entrance plaza of the iconic Swan Lake landmark.
By reviving once-familiar names and symbols through hyper-bright digital neon light, the work conjures a sense of " Futurism Out-of-date"—a temporal dislocation that overlays the forgotten past with imagined futures. The fragmented LED panel units, which at times cluster and at other times scatter across space, construct a narrative that is both unified and disjointed. This rhythm of convergence and dispersion echoes the layered urban memory of Xinying, producing a visual and spatial choreography of fragmented time and misaligned history.
