About Work

[My Parties I - Shape (Permutation & Combination - Two Parties, Three Kingdoms, Four Powers)] is a piece of Chen’s Taipei Series.

 

With this set of works, Chen intended to describe the political situations she observed in Taiwan, particularly the phenomena occurred in the 2016 general election. Based on three commonly seen green marks and the infinite cyclical structure of the Möbius band, the three pieces of this set respectively insinuated three situations of Taiwanese politics. The one with slotted and tabbed joint in blue and green colors symbolized the bitter wrangle between the two major political parties. The triangle in blue, green and red colors implied that China is a force to be reckoned with as much as the two major political parties in Taiwan. The square comprising blue, green, orange and yellow colors illustrated that, in addition to the two major political parties, third parties such as the pro-unification People First Party and the emerging center-left New Power Party also played a role in the 2016 general election.
