Alice in Wonderland Syndrome : Yang Yi-Shiang Solo Exhibition
Exhibition
Born in 1981, Taiwanese artist Yang Yi-Shiang joints her passion for literature, aesthetics, and life experience to create works that lead the audience to gaze at life. She titled this solo exhibition "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome," a rare neurological disorder characterized by distortions of visual perception and experience of time, making a parallel between Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy novel and her adventure as a mother.
When parenting becomes a priority and tales and toys are daily necessities, how does one distinguish childhood from adulthood or see things in proportion? By inviting fairy tale prototypes that we are all familiar with onto her imaginary stage, Yang Yi-Shiang reflects her adventure in parenthood and depicts a wide spectrum of imagination and emotions on the canvas. “Children are always going to be a mother's inspiration.” Yang Yi-Shiang said.
