A leading German arts festival, Kunstgest Weimar, has for the first time featured an installation art and performance piece by Taiwanese artists.
Festival curators said collection of works, called “Light Interdiction,” displayed "the innovative and relevance of Taiwan's current art and performance scene."
The new media artists presented unique experiences through innovative technology. Artist Tao Yu-lun gave viewers an unsettling 3D borderline experience. Fujui Wang's sound installation "Hollow Noise" let participants feel the impression of sonic wind blowing from many directions. Wu Chi-tsung's light installation work "DUST" made visible all the dust in the venue, revealing a whole new structure to the surroundings.
From September 5-7, the four artists gave joint performances featuring light, sound and the human body, while Ding Liping gave a 3-hour multidisciplinary performance.
The Kunstfest Weimar is central Germany’s leading festival of the arts, staged every year since 1990 in late summer. It presents outstanding examples of contemporary art at theatres, concert halls, museums, castles, libraries, streets and plazas in Classical Weimar, a UNESCO world heritage site.
