When fingers pass through strands of hair and brush against the scalp, flakes of skin shed through metabolism detach, falling gently through the air. In daily life, this image often evokes a sense of disgust. Yet, zooming in, the process of shedding skin unfolds into a light, poetic, and romantic spectacle within light, shadow, and space.
The exhibition A Light Snowfall takes "scalp renewal" as its central metaphor, extending from the body's continuous self-updating phenomena to an exploration of material and space. Bodily processes—such as breaking hair, shedding skin, and epidermal renewal—are transformed into dust and debris, serving as a medium for interaction between the body and its environment. These tiny particles redefine the boundaries of existence, rendering the body no longer a closed entity, but a state that continuously leaves traces in space and permeates its surroundings. Sparked by physical changes, this imagination extends to the fragile traces created by working with materials. Through audience participation, the work enters a dynamic mechanism, continually evolving through touch, movement, and the passage of time.
Starting from the concept of bodily renewal, the work views "repetition" not as simple iteration, but as a process of organization and transformation. Through stacking, rubbing, consuming, and deforming, the materials retain traces of physical engagement, revealing the uncertainties brought about by time. The audience's entry becomes a vital condition for the work to exist. Through deliberate spatial design, viewers are invited to approach, move, and touch, altering the state of the work through their actions.
The dialogue expands from individual experience to collective co-creation. Key to the Senses integrates workshop outcomes into the exhibition structure, enabling the artwork to continually unfold throughout the duration of the show.
