Nâ Tâu Tsí á (Sister Lin-Tou) VR

“Our body will remember, and it will tell.”
This work delves into the theme of the body, inspired by traditional Taiwanese folklore, particularly the story of Sister Lin-Tou. It sheds light on the remarkable ability of our bodies to preserve memories of past trauma, even after the wounds have fully healed.

As the VR narrative unfolds, viewers step into the Bardo, the liminal space between existence and the beginning of life, where Sister Lin-Tou resides. Here, they encounter her immense body, perceiving it as an entire universe.

Within the Bardo, the dichotomy of departing or remaining loses significance, leaving behind only a repetitive time-space and an empty vessel.
