Artist Statement:

Original work of art: From the works of Giuseppe Castiglione collected by National Palace Museum

In this installation, the viewer moves an LCD screen in either direction along rails mounted on the exhibition wall. In so doing they travel across two virtual painted panoramas that are populated with many of the plants, birds and animals that can be found in Castiglione’s paintings. Whenever the viewer stops moving the screen, the painting that is being referenced at that particular position in the panoramic landscape will then appear in its entirety on the screen, together with the work’s title.
