This exhibition first began with a vague visual impression of the administrative assistant at Absolute Space. She always sits quietly at the corner of the gallery. Her job requires compassion, understanding, and consecutive interpretations. Although she is always around, her presence is often unrecognized. She is the caretaker of the gallery. As I tried to illustrate her role as the caretaker, I became curious about her physical and mental bond with the gallery. I wondered what brought her here. Has she ever thought about leaving? – In short, I was interested in everything connected to the job.

For this exhibition, I also invited Jing-Wen Tseng, a theater staff, who will bring along the administrative assistants who once worked in Absolute Space to join a body workshop. I pictured the coming and going of different people. Through common memories, those involved shall engage in a dialogue concerning the job. On the last day of the exhibition, we will host a documentary screening and sharing at the gallery.
