Mid-residency focus on OLIVIER MARCENY & GERMAIN CANON
The French artist duo @germaincanon and @olivier__marceny works on their project "LATENCE" that explores calm moments in between earthquakes.
After two weeks of residency in Luodong, they tell us about how their research is going :
"We have just completed the first two weeks of our month-long Formosa residency, in Luodong.
Most of our time was occupied traveling south of Luodong, in the Hualien area, where we visited 21 hotels for our photography project. We wanted to photograph the empty hotel rooms in the aftermath of the 403 quake, whose presence is still felt almost two years later. The empty hotel room is another way to approach the tense relationship between people and their surrounding landscape.
We spent our time driving between places (coming back to Luodong at night), setting up our lighting gear for the photographs, and talking with hotel owners, which was exhausting but rewarding, giving us lots of material to work with.
•
During the last days, back in Luodong, we also went scouting for seismometers, which are blue boxes spread all around the landscape for earthquake detection.
•
In addition, with the help of a local carpenter, we found the necessary wood to experiment with our "quake catcher" installation, an installation whose goal is to collapse in the event of a quake. All in all, the residency was the opportunity to experiment and develop various ways to approach the earthquake as a subject, and its presence in everyday landscapes.
We look forward to the second part of the residency in July. Hopefully we'll have more time to explore Luodong and the area.
