An immersive performance visualizing overseas Taiwanese’s displacement in a foreign land. Joining improvised movement, large printed pictures, and sound, the piece conveys the discomfort and alienation of outsiders. The piece presents three Taiwanese artist’s yearning for their native land. The idea is based on performers' self-identity under the unstable time of the pandemic. For the outlanders, summoning the images and sounds of home has become a latter-day necromancy.

@chenyiwuShou-An is a Taiwanese multi-disciplinary artist based in London. Her practice explores the ambiguous concepts of relationships and identity. Her research of the alienation built from the diverse society draws on her own undefined identity experience, as she delves into the philosophic themes of duration, existence, and phenomenology.
@shouansoniceComing from a psychology background, Hsiao-Chu (Julia) Hsia is a performance artist from Taiwan, now based in New York City after receiving her Master’s degree in Community Arts at Maryland Institute College of Art. Her art surrounds the keyword “relationship,” reflecting and addressing social issues. She has a vision to develop the interdisciplinary art and psychology which is called psychological art, in order to apply psychology theories on a broader scale in art. Hsia sees art as a medium that has the ability to motivate people to think , to discuss, and to change.
