The “Exotic Bird Garden Project” is inspired by Tsai Pou-Ching’s childhood memories of the.numerous exotic bird gardens and strange animal parks throughout Taiwan. With changing times, almost all these enclosures have been dismantled, the disappearance of these formerly beloved animals rarely documented. This residency project starts off with the most widely kept peacock at the time. Through. workshops,memory paths are formed, outlining and reimagining the exotic bird garden, and exploring the relationship between mankind and captive animals.
