![[Residency] Villa Formose Immersive 2026 ✨ Week 3 highlight reel : Red carpets, relics and rituals ✨
I am deeply grateful for the focused time to work on Mystis during my residence at Pier 2 Arts Center in Kaohsiung. It’s really amazing and incredibly rare to have such deeply focused time to immerse myself in the work. So much progress can be achieved when taken outside of daily life, whilst being inspired and challenged by an unfamiliar place. I can almost feel my neurons firing differently, in new ways which feed into the work. 🧠
I’m proud of the 5-minute piece I have developed while being here, and working remotely with @ruthmariner_ , @alina_less_ , @proj_production that I will present in a few days at the open studio during the Kaohsiung Film Festival.
Few of the highlights from the week include :
🎨 Being invited to the press conference with the Minister of Culture of Taiwan for the opening of TTXC
😎 Joining the opening ceremony of the Kaohsiung Film Festival and walking the red carpet - more on that soon
🕯️Participating in the blessing ceremony for TTXC - visiting temples around Kaohsiung to ask different deities for blessings, in the hope the event runs well
🥽 Watching the amazing selection of immersive work of XR dreamland and feasting on immersive art.
🪷 Visiting the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum, an incredible Buddhist monastery, and meditating in the room where the relic of Buddha’s tooth!
Thank you for the incredibly generous hosting and invitations @kfa_tw

✨ Taiwan XR Residency - Single User - Mystis
🏮I have always had a fascination with lanterns. The artist Yayoi Kusama described the repetition of forms as a way to infinity. That’s always somehow how I felt about them. They are a visual bridge to the invisible, a visual manifestation of our yearning. A passage to other worlds, and a threshold.
🕯️I am struck by how strong the presence of those liminal spaces is here. During Ghost Month (the seventh lunar month), people release water lanterns (放水燈) onto rivers and the sea. They’re meant to light the way for wandering spirits, calling them to receive offerings. Sky lanterns (天燈) carry wishes and prayers written on the paper up to the heavens. The Lantern Festival (元宵) closes the New Year. I arrived just after Ghost Month and will leave before the Lantern Festival, so I am finding my way to them in other ways, like wandering in Taoist temples this week.
🥽 I am prototyping the first act of Mystis, which is the transition into the Underworld, the liminal space, where the lantern festival takes place, and looking forward to presenting the prototype at the @khfilmfestival](https://s7.imginn.com/831474555_18638514016049481_3955681087889915357_n.jpg?t51.82787-15/831474555_18638514016049481_3955681087889915357_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_s640x640_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ig_cache_key=Mzk5ODkwMDUxMjA4NjQyNjg0NA%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkNBUk9VU0VMX0lURU0ueHBpZHMuNzIwLnNkci52aWRlb19kZWZhdWx0X2NvdmVyX2ZyYW1lLkMzIn0%3D&_nc_ohc=F-PGpIz2ZokQ7kNvwHlUTcq&_nc_oc=Adp4ald5Won9QVIbnRuq9sbnhoY2W9h-MnoqhYo-_Z_pspBkLm9fFImtGHcIm6Ave0tlx_LgwIin0AQagrPeSvsf&_nc_ad=z-m&_nc_cid=0&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=kbPtYEh-pbVw5sb9eJOlMg&_nc_ss=7a20f&oh=00_AQOptQSOUPTHDfHXhgkmXyH5IJgJtUkUcX64RvI-3itnaA&oe=6AE33C7C)
