Taipei Biennial 2025
Whispers on the Horizon
Taipei Fine Arts Museum
The 14th Taipei Biennial, titled “Whispers on the Horizon” and curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, is conceptually inspired by three objects from Taiwanese literature and cinema: a puppet from Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s 1993 film The Puppetmaster, a diary from Chen Yingzhen’s 1960 short story My Kid Brother Kangxiong, and a bicycle from Wu Ming-Yi’s 2015 novel The Stolen Bicycle. Featuring 54 international and local artists—including Mona Hatoum, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Ni Hao, Musquiqui Chihying, Monia Ben Hamouda, and Rana Begum—the event presents 33 newly commissioned works and site-specific installations that explore the dimensions of yearning as a force suspended between memory and imagination.
