被遺忘的盡頭 At the Edge of What We Recall

Entomofloral Chronicles – Cocoon Tomb

— The pulse of ancient ruins in the world of Entomoflorals; time, layered in metamorphosis —

Time settles deep within the earth,

leaving behind husks—fragments, echoes that linger.

Like insects curled inside their cocoons,

the past has not vanished—

only waits:

to weather,

to split,

to wake once more.

The ruins of the Entomofloral world lie like strata of culture,

each layer a trace of life—once born, migrating, falling away.

Insect metamorphosis marks history upon the body,

a blurred imprint of what once was.

What remains is mottled, half-erased—

a silent language written in dust.

And when a burial mound begins to tremble,

are the memories beneath our feet beginning, quietly, to stir?

Might the ground we walk upon

also be a cocoon, still waiting to be revealed?

▌The Beginning of Tremor — How Do Ruins Speak?

Time does not hold still.

It seeps through movement, through sound, through the scattered fragments

of shells.

Where body and ruin intersect, history begins to shift.

Sound slips through stone fissures—

a murmuring echo of ancient tongues.

Knotted structures loosen, then pull taut again,

like threads of history being tugged and rewoven.

Footsteps graze the ground—

dust stirs, and time begins to take new shape.

Do the shells within the tomb still carry warmth?

Here, excavation is not required.

History has already entered the body.

Time, through our movements, is tracing new textures—

writing itself anew.

▌Installation Highlight｜Fiber Sculpture Lamp Nest

As part of this performance, artist Kang Li-Sheng’s fiber sculpture lamp Nest is featured as a key installation. Introduced through a collaboration initiated by Hsieh Hsin-Han, founder of Earthing Way, the work has become integral to the ongoing evolution of the Entomofloral world.

Kang Li-Sheng has long explored the potential of fiber and spatial materials, creating installations that resonate with an organic sense of life. Working with elements such as plants, handmade paper, metal, and light, his practice blurs the boundary between the crafted and the living. Nest is constructed using traditional papermaking techniques—wire mesh serves as the base, layered with splashed mulberry fiber pulp.

The result is a structure of translucent, cell-like membranes that emit a subtle,

mysterious glow, evoking the cocoon or chrysalis of an unknown lifeform. It conjures an atmosphere of primordial beginnings, presenting a spatial aesthetic rooted in raw, organic form.

Earthing Way is a platform dedicated to promoting contemporary Taiwanese craft and land-based culture. Through curated works by local artisans, lifestyle objects, and cultural events, it fosters meaningful connections between art and place—where objects and installations become points of contact among people, land, and tradition.

Within Cocoon Tomb, the fiber sculpture lamp functions not merely as a source oflight, but as a metaphor for the awakening glow of time. Like whispers filtering through ancient ruins, it quietly bridges the surreal world of Entomoflorals with the historically resonant landscape of Yuanshan.
