Wang Te-yu’s works have always pursued simple ideas. She explores the feeling of spatial presence with simple media and meditates on the existential forms and situations of people in these spaces. In the 1990s she began developing a pure spatial form with fabrics of different material, which has since become a primary motif in her work. In a series of spatial creations whose titles begin with a number, she continues her study of the spatial theme, transforming the subjective/objective relationship between spaces and people, and letting the body’s sensory experience replace visual experience. In this way the interactive experience between viewers and works functions directly as a pathway for “entry” into the spirit of the work—a work that symbolizes the artist’s subjective consciousness. The work also unexpectedly encompasses the viewer-participant’s subjective experience and constructs a commonly-sensed space through the mechanism of interaction.
