Ghost Library

By Duncan Mountford 2018
At the rear of the gallery, on the top of a wall 260cm in height, is the Ghost Library. An empty library that speaks of the loss of knowledge, or the unreachable nature of arcane information. Lit only by the light from an exit sign, and the occasional momentary illumination of a window in one of the three doors, the library is barely visible, fading like a ghost seen by only a few. The work was installed in Taipei Fine Art Museum in Cross-Domain Reading and Writing, curated by Jian, Li-Ting, and Po, Ya-Ting.
