Lieux de Mémoire — How Memory Takes Form

Department of Crafts and Creative Design, National University of Kaohsiung

This work is inspired by the concept of “sites of memory” from Les Lieux de Mémoire, exploring how people attach emotions and memories to specific places, objects, and urban landscapes. Using clay as the primary medium, the work reconstructs overlooked corners of Taiwanese cities through cracks, assemblage, and surface textures, reflecting the traces of memory, weathering, and transformation over time. The three pieces are based on my personal experiences and perceptions of different cities. The first piece draws from the bridge pillars, highways, and street elements of Shalu in Taichung, where I grew up. The second piece reflects the urban textures of Kaohsiung, inspired by sidewalks, cracks, moss, graffiti, and layered street surfaces. The final piece focuses on the red iron gates and rolling shutters commonly found in Kaohsiung’s alleyways, reassembling rust, dents, and worn surfaces into expressive fragments of the city. Rather than directly reproducing specific locations, the works intentionally blur and reconstruct these scenes, inviting viewers to connect them with places from their own memories. Through this process, overlooked urban spaces are transformed into personal and collective sites of memory.
