*First Prize, Taipei New Horizon Festival 2017*Imaginary Park is an outdoor campaign held at Songshan Culture & Creative Park, the installation are all evolved from the doodles drawn by Children with ID*.
Working closely with “Children Are Us Foundation” for more than a year, we co-created hundreds of paintings with the kids together.
Children with ID might have difficulties blending in the norms of society due to their conditions. But it is for these very reasons that their innocent ideas and characteristics get to be preserved. In a way, they are like natural born artists. They’re always opening both arms to share the many waves of laughter, happiness and true feelings of their lives.
Contrary to the strictly regulated sports events, in the minds of the children with ID, there’s no set of rules to follow and no boundaries that are forbidden to cross. I’d like to embody their unrestrained world view through the installation art and allow every participant’s to set free of their imagination.
