Chih-Chien Wang. Archaeology of Insignificance

“Archaeology of Insignificance” brings together, for the first time, three video installations, produced in 2014–15, that Chih-Chien Wang conceived as a trilogy on the processes of memory. Wang creates a dialogue among the narratives featured in the works “I Want to Be Reminded”, “A Helper”, and “The Act of Forgetting”, originally presented, respectively, at EXPRESSION, Les Territoires, and Fonderie Darling. Playing on ruptures and connections, the presentation activates both the characters’ and the viewers’ bodies and subjectivities. This memory of insignificance, which is made and unmade through our gestures, relationships, and emotions, is also transposed into photographic images and objects.
