Days Left to Dry in Salt Air and Scattered Light
Jerry Huang Residency Exhibition
2025
In this coastal district of the city, time is not linear—it accumulates, disperses, and resurfaces in layers. People arrive and depart. Some stay, like a breeze lingering in a narrow alley; others pass through, like salt scattered across sun-dried stones. This place has endured waves of shifting governance, shaped and reshaped through different regimes. It now rests in the city’s old quarter, a space defined as much by absence as by presence.
This exhibition centers on the ideas of movement and sedimentation—not only in the migration and settlement of people but also in the textures of space shaped by their passage. Human relocation is one form of movement; staying, settling, and lingering form another kind of time-bound sedimentation. These human rhythms, in turn, intertwine with natural flows: seasonal monsoon winds, ocean currents, and the humid air that defines Taiwan’s southern summer.
Centering on movement and sedimentation, this exhibition brings together photography, sound, video, ceramics, and cyanotype to trace what remains—light, scent, and echo—across a place where time settles slowly but never still.
