Along with the rhythm of walking, this piece explores how the body encounters, co-creation, leaves traces, and being anew with different materials. The movement includes winding, backtracking, progressing, and moving up and down. With the influence of wind, light, and ramps, visitors can observe different physical expressions and invisible thoughts and feelings. Each step is both lasting and fleeting. Overall, human movement fosters a consistent sense of clarity and poetic imagination.
A Slow Walk, in the Museum explores the concept of “human intervention in space” and develops two modes of experience:
1. Video Archive: Guided by the camera, viewers embark on a solitary poetic walk, engaging in a dialogue where the real and the virtual intertwine.
2. Live Performance: Visitors are invited to move freely, viewing and reconstructing what they see from multiple perspectives.
◎This work is a commissioned project of the Taichung Art Museum’s pre-opening event, Open Up! Our Museum: Numerous Ways to Encounter the Green Museumbrary. The live performances took place on November 1 and 8.

Artists
Both LIN Yu-Ju and TIEN Hsiao-Tzu use the body as the core vocabulary of their practice, and have long been engaged in dialogue and collaboration across different art forms. LIN’s work is immersed in minimalism while fascinated by chaos and collage, exploring the tension between order and disorder; TIEN focuses on how era, history, culture, and environment shape individual emotions, responding to and interpreting them through the body.
In their collaborative cross-disciplinary project A Slow Walk, in the Museum, the two artists invite video artist CHEN Kuan-Yu, sound artist LIAO Hai-Ting, and fashion designer TSAI Hao-Tien to join them in co-creating a narrative space where multiple senses intertwine. Within the museum’s fluid and transparent architecture, they extend their long-standing concerns and practices surrounding body, space, and perception.
