Yang Chi-Chuan’s recent works portray the viewers’ own similar situations and activate memories regarding time, space, and other personal experiences through extensive whispers. The majority of her work is based on the database of her memories, which are broadcast on site through writing and reciting. The contents generally involve family, politics, animals, food, and other compound systems of humanity. The viewers only know part of the long broadcast. Just like a huge database, it can only be output without being compressed. The initial inspiration for her creation comes from her reflections on the comfortable life during her five-week stay in Singapore in early 2016. Combined with slow, relaxing, and anxious emotions, the experience indirectly became her method of creation.
After successively releasing works regarding style and reciting in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Yang published Have a Good Day. Named after the idiom she used to describe her day in her childhood diary, this work aims to open the window of imagination through descriptions of the weather. It places the common and ordinary experiences and feelings of daily life among descriptions that are seemingly wonderful but do not show any emotion. Through audio and visual construction, those common feelings implicitly accumulate the dark sides of anxiety of normal self-response. The depiction established in public (spaces) repetitively constructs the appearance of common life through different chapters. In the end, the work returns to personal perceptual life experience, going back and forth between the public and private spheres.
