2025/12/17 Before the World ｜｜洪禎佑 x 熊倉涼子

Before everything was named, classified, and assigned meaning—
what did the world look like?

As the year draws to a close, TARTCH Gallery warmly invites you
to step into our newly curated two-person exhibition,
Before the World,
and embark on a profound journey back to the origin of perception—
a renewed way of seeing both the world and the inner self.

This is not an exhibition that asks to be understood,
but one that invites you to momentarily set thinking aside and simply feel—
where the body comes before language,
intuition before concepts,
and where, within the works, you encounter yourself.

This exhibition brings together
Taiwanese artist Hung Zhen-Yu and Japanese artist Ryoko Kumakura,

whose distinctly different yet resonant artistic perspectives unfold
a deep dialogue on
how the world is constructed and how humans perceive and experience it.

✨ Within the same space,
you will simultaneously sense—
the rational anxiety of humanity striving to construct the world,
and the primal force of returning to instinctual perception.

This is an artistic dialogue charged with tension and energy,
and a thoughtful invitation offered on the threshold of a new year.
