goes through the doorway on the side and enters the isolated, smaller chamber, one can see Face facing against a long, narrow mirror-wall; in the furthermost corner of this room, I am 22 Years Old, but without My Period lies face-up on an inclined, mirror-encased platform. The Center of Quietude seems to occupy the rest of the space in this pent-up chamber, as if it were the eye of the storm.

Lighting, space division, curation and placement of the artworks all turned out very satisfactory in this exhibition. One surprising element, however, was the strange, airy, and complex visual effect brought about by the combination of high ceiling, empty and extending exhibition walls, and the reflection of light emitting from all the mirrors. Each time I think back upon this exhibition, its scenes, its dark space - each time I re-imagine myself entering the exhibition once again, it feels as if I am entering a psychological space - this matches very well with what I wish to show, namely, ‘the kind of scene that is never found in reality, but often on show in our minds.’”
