Presented as part of Madou Trienalle at Tsung Yeh Artist Village, Taiwan
Echoes in Botany is a site-specific sound and movement performance that reflects on the trees, plants, and architecture of Tsung Yeh. In response to late 19th-century human-driven migrations of plants both in Taiwan and North America, the work responds to the attempts and failures of “tropical paradise” created during the industrial age. The piece roves around the Chief’s house, which was the family residence of the Meiji sugar cane factory chief in Madou during the Japanese colonial period. The work confronts ideas around native, imported and exported plants, speaking to the transports of plants as connected to the movement of culture, commerce, ideas, and diaspora. Sound, technology, and movement are interwoven to investigate these plants and humans role as connected to the layered history of Madou.
