作品介紹｜About the work
R.I.T.E.
Remember I Transcend Existence

R.I.T.E. 源自 2026 年 8 月於臺灣高雄「南方跳」 @southernjump.openspace 展開的田野調查與初步創作，以臺灣廟會遶境與陣頭文化為靈感。

Rooted in field research conducted in August 2026 at Southernjump Open Space in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, R.I.T.E. draws inspiration from Taiwanese temple processions and zhentou traditions.

作品從七爺、八爺的形象出發，探索恍惚出神、身體轉化，以及在逆境中建立的脆弱信任。透過傳統儀式與當代舞蹈的交會，作品在信仰與存在、脆弱與超越、個體與群體之間，尋找身體轉化的可能。

Invoking Qiye and Baye—the Seventh and Eighth Lords—the work explores trance, bodily transformation, and the fragile trust forged through adversity. Bringing traditional ritual into dialogue with contemporary dance, R.I.T.E. moves between belief and existence, vulnerability and transcendence, the individual and the collective.

一場身體的轉化之旅，讓身體成為連結人世與未知的門檻。

A journey of transformation, where the body becomes a threshold between the human and the beyond.

So happy to be back in Kaohsiung to present KATÁBASIS at the @khfilmfestival, one year after my residency with @villa_formose, and ten years after studying in Taipei.

A chance to see friends again, meet new people, eat delicious food, and rekindle my love for Taiwan!

I feel more and more at home here.

#專場導覽 × #聲音共創今日起開放報名 .ᐟ.ᐟ

◌ 要怎麼把那些為臺灣自由與民主奮鬥的聲音，繼續傳下去？ ◌

國家人權博物館邀請您參加這場特別的專場導覽×聲音共創。#國家人權博物館導覽團隊將和法國駐館藝術家 Charlotte Mounier 攜手，一同帶領大家走訪景美園區的歷史現場，

而在走訪這些深具歷史意義的空間時，您也將受邀朗讀威權時代的黨外刊物、白色恐怖時期的檔案和記錄等文本。

在這個曾經意圖使人們噤聲不言的場域，讀出那些爭取人權者的話語，既是為了向他們的奮鬥致敬，也為這些文字開啟穿越國境的傳遞可能。

參與其中，你也可以成為「美麗島使者」。

☆☆
是否朗讀文本，完全由你決定。只有同意參與朗讀的參加者，聲音才會在導覽過程中由藝術家以錄音設備錄下。這些聲音之後會交給法國的學生，由他們翻譯並以法語重新錄製，成為傳遞鏈上的一環，把這些話語帶給更多聽眾，也期望能引發更多人們，思考威權體制的遺產在今日全世界各地仍能帶來的反思和迴響。

邀請您，一同來到白色恐怖景美紀念園區，重新認識這段歷史的同時，用您的聲音，讓我們一起把這些話語傳到更遠的地方。

[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

[Residency] Villa Formose Immersive 2026
✨ 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

Lauréate Villa Formose Immersive 2026 ✨
🌟Taiwan XR Residency, single user : Tatiana Collet Apraxine, Mystis.
•
After a long journey, I’ve begun to settle into my residence in Kaohsiung, working on prototyping the first act of Mystis. ✨🕯️🌊
•
We were lucky enough to be invited to our host’s family celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節), also called the Moon Festival - a holiday marking the fall harvest and full moon, where the local Taiwanese custom is to barbecue with family and neighbours.
•
I researched a little more into the mythology around it. A famous myth is: Chang’e, a woman who drinks an elixir of immortality and floats up to the moon, becoming its resident goddess, separated forever from her husband on Earth.
•
Alongside building Mystis, I’ll be researching Taiwanese mythology, especially around death, ghosts, and loss, and rituals like the lantern festivals, all shaping the visual and thematic language of the piece.
•
I’ll leave you with this: 但願人長久，千里共嬋娟 - a classical line from an 11th-century poem by Su Shi, meaning roughly “I only wish we may both live long, sharing the moon’s beauty though a thousand miles apart.”
•
Thank you for having me and the beautiful welcome @villa_formose @kfa_tw , @104paris @frataiwan , @centrecultureldetaiwan , @le_cnc
