This episode is composed of photography, fiber based installations, and moving images. From installations of leaf-sheath fibers—artificial objects that appear to regress into a primordial order—to the artist’s embodied drifting across the islands once referred to as “Chusan” by modern Western empires in search of palms, the work unfolds as a layered visual narrative.

Through deliberately blurred visual strategies, the artist calls into question the viewer’s assumptions about “nature” and “reality.” Plants, as emblematic representations of the natural world, are redefined through human intervention and activity. Within the work, the disordered interplay of positive and negative images of the Chusan Palm symbolizes the ambiguity between nature and knowledge, transforming it into a sign that continuously shifts across time, space, and culture.


《序曲：楚山没有棕榈》由摄影、植物装置和动态影像构成。从由人造物退化为原始秩序的叶鞘纤维装置，到创作者具身漫游于被近代西方帝国称之为楚山的岛屿之上寻找棕榈的影像叙事。创作者通过模糊化的视觉手段来质疑观众对于“自然”和“真实”的认知。植物，作为自然的代表物，在人类活动与行为干预下被重新定义，作品中楚山棕榈错乱的正负像形态象征着自然与知识的模糊不清，它成为随着时间、空间和文化不断流动的符号。
