WEI,PO-JEN, An artist based in Taiwan and a member of 讓豬仔飛 When Pigs Fly since 2016. Born in 1993, currently living and working in Taipei, Taiwan.

A home video tape recording travel memories with families triggers the rethinking of his relationship with family and the influence it brings, which further encourages him to rethink and explicate himself, his private life experience, sorrow in relationships, and family. With a focus on sentimental stimulation brought from his growing stage, he transfers the trauma from his family into physical performances, videos, installations, sculptures, sketches and objects. He builds up a theatrical, ritual and continuity inner space with personal experiences, fragments from memories and emotion reflection.Through the contradictory, painful, traumatic, metamorphic and private inner emotions, he concludes a method to understand oneself, digest, fill up and reinterpret the doubt he has been digging from the current stage.

Various Shapes of Wander
Military villages are one of the unique living patterns constructed by the historical factors of Taiwanese society, being an important cultural asset. They form the cultural landscape of Taiwan by their architectural form, the function of the space, the occupation, daily routine, and interaction within the community of these residents, with the passing of time and devotion. A lot of these villages are demolished due to urban planning. Heart Village in Beitou District, Taipei City, is one of t ...

Sketch of the Past Position
While Sitting on the bus, departing from Hsinchu to Taipei, through the window was the view of the long stretched highways quivered in the air as chords, connecting the two vanishing points, disappeared in the ridge from a distance. With the view whisking, the city landscapes outside of the windows flung off before being carefully observed. Through multiple trips, the view of enormous chimney erecting the sky with smoke emission, industrial buildings resembling the circuit boards, and ventila ...

Channel, Film, and The Machine
This work creates a microscopic view for audiences to rest sights on specific objects, and bring them to further read in the interpretation of old tape recorder and film tapes. It blends the imagination of exhibition space with the revisit of life scene, and targets on the discussion of the meaning of specific objects toward one’s life experience. The artist vaguely remembers that there used to be a family videotape that recorded some of the significant moments in his young life. The r ...
