DRIFT: LEE WAN, SEAHEE CHANG, JUNGWON PHEE

 THE THIRD is pleased to present “Drift,” a project exhibition opening at LIGHTWELL, Taipei, on view from October 18 through November 2, 2025, in conjunction with Taipei Art Week 2025. 

Drift is explored through the work of three artists, each engaging the concept of drifting from a distinct perspective. The exhibition moves beyond fixed centers and predetermined hierarchies, tracing fluid movements and intersecting trajectories through which new modes of perception and narration emerge. Here, drifting is framed not as uncertainty, but as a generative condition, an opening toward transition, expansion, and renewal. 

Lee Wan examines how social systems and institutional frameworks operate upon the individual. His installations, sculptures, and paintings reconfigure familiar symbols and consumer objects as instruments of transformation. Through these altered forms, he reveals the tensions and contradictions embedded within collective structures, redefining the everyday as a site where latent conditions surface and acquire new significance. 

Seahee Chang considers how climate change and environmental shifts affect the rhythms of human existence. Her video installations register unstable flows and unpredictable transitions, giving form to the dynamic interplay between human and nonhuman agents. In her work, drifting emerges not as a marker of crisis, but as a process in which coexistence and potential converge. 

Jungwon Phee investigates how emotions and memories are abstracted into forms that drift and reverberate. For this exhibition, his practice extends into installation, where layers of affect unfold across space and time. The viewer moves between states of reality and memory, the personal and the collective, encountering an expanded field of emotional resonance. 

Drift positions drifting as constructive rather than dissolutive, an active process of renewal rather than a sign of loss. Within these transitional states, new sensibilities and relations emerge, offering another language through which to reflect upon the conditions of the present. 

THE THIRD 將配合 2025 Taipei Art Week，於 2025 年 10 月 18 日起在 LIGHTWELL 舉辦專案展覽《Drift》。 

《Drift》透過三位藝術家的創作，以多重視角展開對「漂流(Drift)」這一感知經驗的詮釋。 

它不依附於任何既定的中心或確定的秩序，而是在不斷流動與交錯的軌跡中，探尋感知生成的新可能。 

在此，「漂流」並非單純的搖曳，而是一種通向轉化與延伸的契機。 

Lee Wan 探究社會制度與結構如何作用於個體。 

他的裝置、雕塑與平面作品，將日常被消費的符號與物件化為變形的媒介，在轉化之間隱約揭示體制所製造的張力與諷刺，並多層次地呈現社會結構介入個體經驗的樣態。 

當熟悉的事物被以陌生的方式重組時，被日常表層掩蓋的社會語境得以在新的層面顯現。 

Chang Seahee 關注氣候變遷與環境變動如何改變人類生活與感知的節奏。 

她的影像裝置捕捉不確定的流動與難以預測的變化，以流動的姿態呈現人與非人交織而成的關係網絡。 

在她的創作中，「漂流」超越了危機的象徵，成為共生與生成相互交會的過程。 

Phee Jungwon 探討個體情感與記憶如何轉化為抽象的語言。 

在此次呈現中，他將繪畫的姿態延伸至裝置領域，使情感與記憶的層次於時間與空間中展開、疊合與散逸。觀者在現實與記憶、個體與群體之間徘徊，於感官的波動與情感的回響中，捕捉抽象情感向公共經驗擴延的瞬間。 

《Drift》呈现在流動與漂移的節點上生成的感知與思考，為我們提供了回應當代處境的另一種感性語言。
