Françoise

Chun-Yi CHANG

In the audiovisual work Françoise (2015 - 2024), a multitude of prayers and wishes mingle, evoking ethereal thoughts and desires that float away like glimmers in the darkness. Human voices, like brushstrokes on a canvas, create a soundscape where discourses seem to intertwine in a mysterious echo. These words, though apparently unconnected, form a network of thoughts detached from their original meaning. Yet they are always looking for an absent interlocutor, like rubbing a coin under a sheet of paper, waiting patiently for the silhouette of the other to take shape. In this way, Françoise captures a world of emotions, condensing humanity’s most intimate desires. The work reflects an anxiety about the future and a yearning for connection with the other. The artist invites the viewer to plunge into this invisible network of ideas, to explore the connection and resonance between oneself and others.
