"Chiasmus" is a concept employed by philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, signifying the intersection between the perceiver and the perceived. This exhibition is conceived as a group show featuring four emerging artists from the perspective of this chiasmus. In the experience of viewing paintings, a unidirectional relationship is established where the viewer (subject) "sees" the painting (object). However, through the act of seeing in the relationship between painting and viewer, the pictorial world connects within the viewer, linking to semantic worlds of new interpretations and emotions—we attempt to create such reciprocal artistic experiences. In our contemporary era of advancing digitalization, we have become accustomed to algorithm-optimized, unidirectional information consumption. This exhibition demonstrates the possibility of encounters filled with unexpected discoveries through viewing experiences that mutually permeate the viewer's inner self through dialogue with the artworks.
