“Erotic Space” consists of three small rooms within a larger dark room, deliberately made to resemble a gay sauna. In each room, there is a cheap mattress, a roll of toilet paper and a television set playing a looped DVD of the artist’s personal travel [VID] Videos filmed in various countries over the past 10 years. The [VID] Video is like a personal diary and records not only scenes from the artist’s travels but also several private and candid conversations between the artist and his long-time collaborator and muse, actor Lee Kang-Sheng. Viewers are allowed to roam freely from room to room in the darkened exhibition space, illuminated only by the light from the TV screens. This allows for intimate encounters with anonymous strangers. They can even lock themselves in if they desired. The entrance is the exit Darkness is a passage that leads To the depths of the soul Sometimes, you lose sight of your own fingers All you hear is the sound of breathing Be cautious around the corner For you could meet a stranger in the mirror You walk by room after room Door after door Some locked, some not You can stay in the rooms as long as you want You can wait You can sleep You can cry for the person next door to hear You can share the space with another That is, if both of you are willing Feel free to use the roll of tissue paper But please do not remove it from the room Surveillance cameras are in operation Do not do anything silly There is no pornography here Only Tsai Ming-liang’s travel [VID] Videos.
