越迫切的需要，政治犯們近似藝術創造的「浪費」行為，似乎是暫時贖為「普通

Since we often regard the practice of creation as an activity that is bestowed to “people of abundance,” those political prisoners who dedicate their physical labor to any outcome irrelevant to survival seem to dissipate their time and strength. However, the deprivation of social role, the coercion of total authority, and the abolition of existing order, all accumulate to a drastic need to establish an alternative order of one’s own. The semi-artistic practice performed by political prisoners could be seen as a leverage to redeem their “normal lives.”

 

New Order is an ongoing project launched by CHANG Wen-Hsuan in 2023. Adopting the configuration of the filing system, this long-term project aims to delve into the dichotomized manipulation of the “new order” narrative. This work featured in the art festival is filed under “Normal Life.”
