Catalogue Note
The way Hao Liang’s work has developed over time bears similarities to the classic Chinese novel ‘Journey to the West’. Starting off from China, he travels westwards, encountering various phenomena from the legends of the Western Regions…At some point in this journey, he…enters the realms of literary imagination. In his imagination, people can undergo dramatic transformations, morph into butterflies and be reborn over and over again. - Kao Chien-hui
