The Path Cafe is hidden down an alley in eastern Taipei and opens up into a large open space rare in the most expensive part of the city. The plants in front of the large, bright French windows create a fresh and natural feel. Mixed with a powerful coffee aroma wafting out of the cafe it is difficult not to pop inside and kick back for a while, so that one moment of the day can be filled with quiet satisfaction.
Most people feel their way through life on a daily basis and this combination of different experiences and feelings creates a wide variety of different colorful happenings. As with the story of the blind people trying to describe an elephant it is often difficult to see life clearly as a whole from 360 degrees. The best we can do is set out and experience life from our perspective and point of view. Touch is the most direct and intimate form of contact and viewer participation is an integral part of this work. The artist invites viewers to explore the piece, to draw closer and guess what will be shown in front of us. There are a million ways in which the work can be put together and finally it stands completed before our very eyes. |
