Curatorial Perspective

Obtuse Angle is a series of light and sound installations. Three different phases are developed using three rays of direct light and sounds emitted in opposite directions, with restarting of operations within the circumference of the space. This progresses to reactions of light and sound to the spaces in which the works are located, indirectly influencing image formation and sound generation in surrounding exhibition areas. Hung Tzu-Ni uses the irregularly lost space leading to the third floor of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts – stairway railings and corridor – as the foundation for thinking about spatially-restricted works. Obtuse Angle installations are placed in selected lost spaces on staircase landings, enabling sound and structured light to reflect and interact.
