Corona Villa

2020.08
Taipei Fine Arts Museum

This work is an “Anti-Epidemic Hotel” placed in the art museum, a composite resort combining the images of an inn, a cruise ship, a shelter, a sanctuary, and a nursing home. In this resort, multiple contradictory images–freedom and confinement, holiday making and centralized control, trajectories of motion and surveillance mechanisms–intervene in visitors’ actions, both autonomous and non-autonomous, leading us to ponder new relationships and a new order in which people coexist with others, objects and the world.
 In every room there is a live-stream of an artist, offering services to the guest room via remote video. Services vary according to the artist’s specialization–“Virtual Lover,” “Singalong,” “Collective Sketching,” “Contact Treatment,” and “Valet Shopping.”
Through the material sensations of hearing, touch, smell and even taste, the isolated guests and the artists located in outdoor spaces link spaces and themes to create “on-site” and “off-site” sensorial experiences, while also resonating with the behaviors of art therapy.
