Overture
Overture
Overture is a landscape installation that combines artificial media and plants, which grow up along the development of the time to generate various features. The Earth is the home of human beings, where the development of civilization and the ecology of the Earth are closely intertwined and connected. Therefore, the artists put forward the concept of the coexistence of the "concrete" used for human constructions and the climbing plants from the nature to create an iron globe on the lawn as a metaphor of the Earth. The creative team incorporates the natural ecological scenery into the work and exhibits it in a public area for leisure activities. The climbing plants underneath the work will gradually grow upward to be attached to the iron globe and concrete construction and thus form an organic work with rich vitality and multiple layers.
Material：Iron rings, Concrete, Climbing Plants

CHIU Chieh-Sen, born in Taoyuan in 1986, was graduated from École Supérieure des Beaux Arts Montpellier Contemporain with DNSEP (Diplôme National Supérieur d'Expression Plastique) and the Department of Architecture Art Conservation of National Taiwan University of Arts in 2016.
CHIU's creations are based on the environment and his studies of the context of its civilization and then intertwined with his inner projection in response to it. His works also try to connect human thinking and mentality with the physical bodies, environment, and space.
He is also concerned about the artistic interpretation of "locality" and concentrates on studying and reshaping the geographic interrelations among people to reflect the difference of recognition of "sense of being." The urban features under the impact of globalization lead to the collapse of locality. Therefore he takes Taiwan as the subject of research and art creation to explore how arts view the "the collapse of locality."
