In a country where recent history has been written through silences, art becomes an act of collective breathing. The works brought together in Between Fog and Memory [Taiwanese Contemporary Art] arise from the need to look back in order to sustain the present. On the surface, they speak of images, archives and bodies; beneath them lies the fragility of the rights that sustain our shared existence.

In Taiwan, video art, experimental cinema and performance have served as languages of resistance, observation and care. Through these practices, the artists reconstruct a space in which memory is not merely a record of the past, but also a form of justice: a slow, visual and poetic justice. Every image reclaimed from oblivion is, in turn, a defence of the right to exist, to remember and to imagine without fear.

In this exhibition, the artists engage with the ruins of colonial history, censorship, social transformations and the tensions surrounding identity. A recurring question runs through their works: how can we remain free when memory is eroded? Art responds with its own persistence: keeping the cracks open and insisting on the smallest gestures that give the present its humanity.

The works gathered here move between documentation and reverie, between political imagery and contemplation. In them, the defence of human rights is expressed not as a slogan but as a form of breathing: a persistent pulse running through bodies, territories and images.
