Just because you can’t describe a feeling doesn’t mean you don’t know how it feels.
Inspired by south-east asian folklore, spirituality and mysticism, this collaborative installation attempts to reframe the incomprehensible experiences of ‘knowing’ as potentially generative encounters.
In Tibetan Buddhist traditions, sacred knowledge is said to be concealed within the essence of a physical object. What these objects trigger within a human being often equates to a sense of knowing, as opposed to existing in any tangible form or language.
In Gardening to the Dark, Jing Liang, Minh-An Pham and Adrian Jing Song reframe familial silences as potentially generative encounters. Drawing on personal narratives and south-east asian mythology, this collaborative installation invites viewers to reflect on the subtle tensions and dynamics that exist within these unspoken histories.
