A pitcher that contains water, an empty glass, and a measuring cup.
Pick up the pitcher, look at the measuring cup, and pour water into the empty glass.
Hands cup. Hands made of glass and hollow, wrists the opening.
Water has been poured.
In the morning after a typhoon, a drunken man told me,
“You know, now the sky looks foggy.
Many say it’s all optical center’s fault. Don’t be fooled.”
These are some ideas and random notes that I have strong impressions of and have yet to paint. Having them remain unpainted is like always leaving the last bite on the plate, or so I am reminded.
“The Turtle and Falsetto” originated from a 2017 painting that depicted an existing vase, a vase that was only remembered by its features, and a vase that was non-existing. This theme carried on and eventually turned into this booklet. It is my pleasure to share it with you.
Text from Anteng Tsai
This book is published to coincide with The Turtle and Falsetto exhibition by Anteng Tasi at 朋 丁 pon ding, 7 February - 8 March, 2020.
