Abstract
日花仔 jit-hue-á / A Slow Parting draws on traditional Taiwanese funerary rites, particularly the rituals observed during the first seven days after death. The exhibition reflects on the thresholds between life and afterlife, memory and forgetting, presence and absence.
Working across performance, installation, and photography, 日花仔 jit-hue-á / A Slow Parting unfolds as an ongoing negotiation with grief, exploring the space between remembering and forgetting. The body becomes a vessel through which memory is performed, fragmented, and rearranged. By prolonging the duration of parting, Wang creates a fragile, sensorial specter that lingers in the unresolved presence of what has been lost.
Biography
Yun Hsiang (Sandy) Wang
Yun Hsiang (Sandy) Wang (M.F.A. ’26) is a Taiwanese interdisciplinary artist based between New York and Taiwan, working across photography, video, installation, and performance. Shaped by an Eastern upbringing and a Western education, her practice explores states of belonging, intimacy, memory, and embodiment. Centered on the notion of the “in-between,” her work navigates both metaphorical and physical thresholds, investigating the interior and exterior of the body. Through working with her own body, she blurs the boundaries between visibility and erasure, expression and concealment, using these tensions to examine how identity is felt, performed, and continuously reconfigured.
