Gymnast Daily 2.3.4

作品賞析

CHANG Yu-Chia’s Gymnast Daily.2.3.4 is a glue painting that portrays gymnastics and how it relates to various situations of life. Male gymnasts are shown performing various moves in the presence of animals randomly introduced into the scene. A gibbon and a mandrill, natural experts in the bars, are having fun while the gymnast exercises on the bars. For the balancing beam and pommel horse, the equipment is replaced with a rhinoceros and a fish with legs. Gymnastics performance is graded by judges, just like many things in our daily lives where accomplishments could only be obtained with the acknowledgment of other people. CHANG Yu-Chia uses a humorous vocabulary to create a surreal depiction of the daily life of a young male gymnast and to convey various encounters in life that cannot be described with words.
