Using fluorescent-painted wires and metals with black light (UV light), Qi Xin presents a new installation, “Under the Glowing Banyan Tree”, filled with insects, plants, and other organisms indoors with no natural light. In Taiwan, an island with mild weather, people often gather under the shade of a banyan tree and share diverse opinions and viewpoints. Legend has it that banyan trees, a symbol of longevity and prosperity, gather souls - in turn inspiring people in awe. Illuminating the ecosystem encompassing the organisms and their environment, the work serves as “ecosystem of light” and creates a quiet and creative space within the city, reminding us of the nature and intimacy between people being lost.
