● An Entrance to Elsewhere ●
Text╱ Text: Lan Nien-Chu Translation: Louis Teirlinck
Why can't you let me be the can that holds your breath?
What allows the shape of time to become visible ?
Clocks, watches, we have invented many objects as bodies that make time visible.
Fish tanks, potted plants, laundry baskets, these are vessels that can be placed within everyday life. Faces, the calluses on our hands, these are our bodies too, the bodies of time, the shared habitat between us and time.
Moments where the gaze lingers: these objects that carry time are carefully observed, reassembled, carried, slowly taking shape within space.
A beam of light entering by chance, the form of a leaf made more beautiful through withering, a color altered by corrosion and rust.
Your hands adjust their angles: arranging, layering; your eyes connect each boundary.
This is time's invitation: to let traces of use become an entrance to imagination, to move through every crevice, to step into passages leading elsewhere.
Born with the freedom to depart at will or to remain in one place for a time, regardless of gain or loss, you will not remain the same you.
All objects are gradually changing; all possibilities bloom within infinite possibility.
As long as one lives, the beginning and the end are never the same, and new events will become the meaning of commemorated days.
This is a new day. You head elsewhere, your toes slicing into the interior of space, unearthing a radiant faith.
Tongdi™ infuses new spaces with meaning, weaving a fresh rhythm that weaves into everyday life. Where stillness exists, we introduce movement, creating spaces that inspire imagination and connection. Through meticulous design and carefully curated objects, Tongdi transforms the ordinary into a landscape of meaning, where every encounter carries a new narrative yet to unfold.
