This year’s Taoyuan Land Art Festival to begin on July 4 is to feature over 70 artworks from Taiwan and abroad. There will be three pieces on display at Guanyin Beach, including a 5-meter-tall humanoid made of driftwood by the South Korean sculptor Kim Chang-hwan. Another work inspired by the Tang dynasty poem “Song of the Pipa” resembles shimmering pearls on the coast.

Large spheres woven from bamboo are scattered across the beach, some clustered together and others standing alone. Nearby is a humanoid sculpture made from driftwood, standing guard over the spheres.

This year’s Taoyuan Land Art Festival runs from the beginning of July to the end of August, displaying over 70 artworks from Taiwan and abroad. This collection of bamboo spheres is one such work, inspired by a line from the famous Tang dynasty poem “Song of the Pipa” about small and large pearls falling onto a jade plate.

A 5m-tall driftwood sculpture created by the South Korean environmental artist Kim Chang-hwan watches over the bamboo pearls.

Curator
What’s important about these works is that it’s not just about putting objects here to represent something, but that through them, people can feel the relationship between the natural landscape, themselves, and the artwork.

Made from natural materials, the installations are designed to harmonize with the landscape, connecting people with nature through art.
