The Vanishing Corner

作品賞析

The subject of this piece by CHIU Jin-Ping is the ironworks that her father ran for over 20 years, which faced the fate of its eventual closing. Chiu gives us a realistic depiction of the familiar, everyday appearance of the ironworks as she re-examines the historical memories behind the objects. The image of tools laid out in the corner is one that is gradually vanishing in this age of globalization. In this piece, Chiu seeks to relive memories of growing up in the ironworks.
