The exhibition, titled “Wandering in the Garden”, takes its inspiration from Tang Xianzu’s classical Chinese drama The Peony Pavilion: The Interrupted Dream (《牡丹亭·游园惊梦》). It seeks to explore, through a dialogue between contemporary art and the traditional Eastern garden, the subtle interplay among individual perception, free will, and the order of nature. The exhibition space itself becomes a work of art: the traditional Japanese house and garden embody a sense of time steeped in tranquility and introspection, while Shen Lieyi’s sculptures resemble stones cast into still water, their delicate material ripples awakening the viewer to contemplate the essence of existence.
