The Nameless Zone tries to deal with moments of sudden sobbing utterances in our life experiences, and to regard as a space for studying the empirical experiences which are not easily categorized. From several angles, it explores the experiences involving the receptive world, time of creation and time of viewing artworks. Therein, the necessary condition is for a person to put himself into, rather than over, all his life. He must put his body and “this person” in perception and feelings about the living world. As Maurice Merleau-Ponty said in L'œil et l'esprit, “One must use his body as a medium to really know others and nature.” Hence, what can be perceived by the body in the current world through artistic creation and production? And what is the response to the untold moment?
"Nameless" comes from his non-definition, futility, or deliberate neglect. Speed has penetrated the life of today's era which abounds in purposes. The video and the Internet have long accepted willingly their notoriety and been interpreted as the masses. “Humans” are the products from the air. The choice to refuse the speed is also a participative way. It cannot be changed from "something" to "nothing", and it is often a matter of pulling back and forth, jumping back to senses, and swinging to and fro. It disables one from searching for words in response. Therefore, in the process of creation, I negotiate with it to ceaselessly test his name in the functional space.
A creator’s response to his own problem surely has something to do with the world. Even his refusal to respond is also considered a kind of negotiation. Selection is also an action in the process. This article tries to make responses to the art-body-the world of the moment from multiple dimensions in creation.
