The Poems 100 event at the Museum Of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Taipei highlights the work of 100 contemporary Taiwanese poets. Designed to accompany this event, Terzetto is an immersive creation composed of two devices connected to each other by the same visual and sound space.
Terzetto 1 presents a modern urban landscape filmed over 24 hours and cut into vertical strips. By moving along the work, the viewer modifies the temporality of each fragment, activating temporal desynchronizations propagating in space. When the landscape is recomposed around a particular moment, a poem appears superimposed, dedicated to this moment of the day.
Terzetto 2 uses a swarm of Chinese characters, each with an autonomous life. Open hands appear in random positions on the screen, encouraging the viewer to interact. By superimposing his hand with one of the hands thus offered, the spectator activates an energy which assembles groups of disparate characters in the form of ephemeral poems.
