The Japanese artist Ushijima Koutarou creates his works based on the narrative texts within his installation. He presents stories by setting up the scenery but avoids the intention of trying to construct a story. Therefore, the story goes nowhere and has no specific ending. Ushijima picked the rambling scenes and events from everyday life around him and tried to make connection with them then to develop a story in his installations. From 2003, Ushijima started to entitle his works in order of completion as "Scene 1", "Scene 2", "Scene 3"..., and now is approaching "Scene 35" in 2008. He expects that these scenes can be the clues of finding himself and as well of connecting to the outer world and finally can produce meaning to the others. Ushijima will continue his production of "Scene 35" and "Scene 36" during his stay in the Kuandu Museum of Fine art (2008/04/08-05/18) and will take the local materials as the creative elements in his diary in Taiwan.
