A place becomes scenery through the convergence of multiple conditions: settlement patterns, structures of governance, and ways of seeing accumulated over time. Together, these factors shape how the scenery is understood and remembered, while also informing our imagination of nature, geography, and human culture. From scenic postage stamps drawn by designer Kwaug-Chi Lee, and published by the government, to contemporary official livestream platforms broadcasting footage from surveillance cameras at tourist sites, I have been concerned with how scenery is constructed through different technical conditions. By capturing, pre-recording, and recomposing real-time images from scenic locations across Taiwan, he reflects on the relationships among the body, the interface, and the site itself. This exhibition presents four works, beginning with Setting Scenery: Mirror Test (2024), an intervention into on-site surveillance imagery, and extending to Rain View 01: Shitiping and Rain View 02: Taipei 101, which explore the sensory passage between the inside and outside of the screen, as well as Overlapping Sketches, where scenic images and modes of viewing from different periods are brought into renewed superimposition. Under the arrangements of institutions, media, and framing positions, scenery gradually becomes a recognizable visual logic. Through these videos, actions, installations, and found objects, Setting Scenery reveals the shifts in ways of seeing that underlie scenery, together with the historical conditions from which they emerge.
