Introduction

At the end of 2022, the Winsing Arts Foundation held the solo exhibition AS YOU GO by artist Anri Sala at Winsing Art Place. Centered on an immersive video experience, the exhibition showcased the Foundation’s collection piece AS YOU GO, which comprises three video works—Ravel, Ravel, Take Over, and If and only if. Based on the fluidity of music and imagery, the entire exhibition resembled a large-scale kinetic sculpture, offering visitors an experience akin to a “parade.” Beyond video, Anri Sala also works across various media—such as installations, paintings, prints, and more recently, frescoes—to explore themes of identity, history, memory, and the interrelationship between past, present, and future.

At the exhibition’s opening, the Foundation invited the artist for an online conversation in which he shared many thoughts on the exhibition and his works. On October 4, in this special lecture, we are honored to welcome Anri Sala in person to engage in a dialogue with Winsing Arts Foundation Executive Director Shiao-Jen Yeh about her collected works. This rare opportunity offers a new perspective for understanding Sala’s artistic practice.
