Diplopia in Hsu Che-Yu’s “Gray Room”

*This is the exhibited version of “Gray Room” in the 2023 “Memory Palace in Ruins” exhibition. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*nIHb3g3nut9GB0LM.jpg" style="height:352px; width:700px" /> Source: <a href="http://www.hsucheyu.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.hsucheyu.com/</a> The current C-LAB annual exhibition, “Memory Palace in Ruins,” is composed of numerous video works and images. Despite exploring all four exhibition areas, the most impactful memory remains the gray-white house in Hsu Che-Yu’s(許哲瑜) work. Even after leaving the exhibition area, the sound of ping-pong balls seems both tantalizingly close and distant. As the frosted surface transforms into a metallic sheen, that ping-pong ball is no longer just a simple sphere, much like the ever-changing nature of human perception of memories. Hsu Che-Yu’s focus this time is on the theme of family memories. He has employed his well-researched 3D scanning technique, integrating VR into works such as “Event Site Fabrication”(事件現場製造) and this latest work, “Gray House.”(白屋) Although these two technologies are still in their early stages of development and not entirely refined, you can still notice imperfections in the scanned model or the fringes of the map. However, Hsu Che-Yu cleverly utilizes the inherent reflexivity of the medium itself to narrate the memories of his family. <a href="https://medium.com/@tammy91114/diplopia-in-hsu-che-yus-gray-room-3292799dbf08">Learn More</a>
