An Endless Tale of Sisyphus
Shun-Chih Chang
The endless cycle of creation, destruction and starting again can make both our creative processes and daily lives seem futile. Having materialised his own experience of the cycle through a series of metaphorical objects, Shun Chih Chang now sets the stage for a participatory performance. By collectively embodying the endless cycle, participants experience it as a shared and inevitable flow of nature. Rather than futility, by experiencing the cycle together it becomes the essence of freedom and change. Then the illusory and untrustworthy nature of the fixed conclusions and stable commodities that thwart the cycle can be appreciated.
