Description

2020: Tang Priest’s Journey to the West borrows the storyline of Tang Xuanzhang’s (Tang Priest) classical historical odyssey to the Western Regions as a probe into the question of what “context” means in today’s world. The project contains a series of imagination of the monk’s movable device at different time points of his journey. As the monk’s journey proceeds, his installation is continuously expanded, demolished, or partly replaced in respond to the change in his contexts, namely, climate of his geographical location, the events he encountered, and the volume of sacred objects accumulated. At the end of the story, the mobile pod at the beginning settles down as a permanent residence, as the Monk’s journey comes to an end. Going through all stages of the Monk’s life, this installation is like a direct reflection of his life story.
