About The Entry

Travel is not simply moving from one place to another. It is an exploratory journey that awakens the senses, emotions, and imagination. Each departure is a temporary step away from the rhythm of everyday life, and an opportunity to rediscover the world. Through walking, observing, and experiencing, we accumulate memories along the way and gradually grow and discover new aspects of ourselves within ever-changing landscapes. For children, the independence to make decisions and the new discoveries during a journey form an important fragment of self-awareness. Centered on the theme of “journey,” this exhibition invites travelers of all ages to enter the exhibition space with curiosity and begin a grand journey of your own through the artists’ perspectives:
First Stop: Freedom and Experimentation at Departure
How would you like to begin your journey? Through the interactive installations by Musquiqui Chihying and Rintaro Hara + Yu Hara, children are invited to practice their “autonomy” of movement. Here, you can boldly choose your own path and begin building meaningful memories of your journey.
Second Stop: Curiosity and Discovery Along the Way
What secrets are hidden within the landscape? In addition to listening to soundscapes translated by Uni Percussion, you are invited to travel across time and space, viewing Taoyuan landscapes from a century ago through the paintings of Chiu Chuang-Chien, and comparing them with modern scenes captured through the lens of Xiao Qi-Heng, discovering different ways of seeing the world.
Third Stop: Encounters, Sharing, and Connection
The most beautiful scenery in any journey is often the people. In the works of Crystallize Object and Yin Zi-Jie, spaces are created for sharing emotions. You can greet others through body language or drop a letter into a mailbox, learning to understand others through warm interaction.
Designed with game-based exploratory elements, the exhibition invites young travelers to enter the display space and complete travel missions using observation, sensory awareness, and imagination, gradually building their own journey narrative through participation. Here, children are free to explore the unknown and make their own choices, and each choice becomes a precious and unique lived experience.
