“When I first presented my solo exhibition Sojourn at MAYAO in 2024, I had not returned home for nearly five years. During my time in France, although I was drifting, I felt a certain lightness.

Since returning in February 2025, as my body has truly re-entered this environment and I began to live here in a real, grounded way, everything has changed. I can no longer view my surroundings with the same playfulness as before. The texture of “life” now lands heavily on me—striking me with force, as though there is nowhere to hide, like being caught in a cloudburst while walking.

Working in this state, my practice no longer carries the same sense of “effort” or “irony” as before. Instead, I want to conceal the “energy” deep beneath the surface—to make things simpler, and simpler still, and simpler again. Life is already chaotic and complicated; I want my work to be simple.

I have begun to resent “Sojourn”. I long for stability—for a “home,” a place where I can truly settle myself.”

「2024年第一次在MAYAO做《寄居》個展時，那時快 5年沒有回國；在法國的日子裡雖然遊蕩著，但感覺人是輕巧的。

從2025年2月回國到現在，當身體真正回到這個場域，真真切切地生活時，一切都變了，我沒法再用以前那種『戲虐』的方式去看待周遭。「生活」的觸感實實在在『砸』在身上，我好像無處可藏，像走在路上突然一陣暴雨。

這種狀態的創作，好像沒有以前作品那種『用力』和『戲虐』，而是想把『能量』深深的藏在背後；想簡單點、再簡單點、再再簡單點。生活已經是一地雞毛了，很複雜了，我想讓作品簡單點。

我開始厭惡寄居，渴望穩定，想有一個『家』，一個可以安放自己的地方。」

When “utopia” is reduced to mere refuge, these subtle presences begin to operate as allegory. In the twenty-first century, the “global village” is increasingly experienced as unraveling, giving rise to a pervasive sense of homelessness. Some are displaced, others migrate; for many, what changes is the meaning of “home.”

In Zhou Zhang’s memory, “home” is less about family than about waiting—flickering television images and idle radio noise that stretch time. What is imagined as a place of grounding here appears suspended, drifting, and fragile.

Lodged in edges and crevices, these formations may never truly point to stability; instead, they register duration, consumption, and an unfinished act of dwelling.

當「理想鄉」被下降為「藏身之所」，這些過於細微的存在反而成為了一種寓言——21世紀見證了「地球村」願景的失敗，對更多人而言，「家園」正在經歷深刻而巨大的改變。

在周璋的記憶裡， 「家 」的經驗似乎較少關於 「家人」，而是在「等待家人」的過程︓不斷變化的電視畫面，百無聊賴的電台背景音裡。如果說人們把「家」作為個人成長的生發之地︔周璋的「家」似乎永遠在懸置之中永遠飄忽、脆弱、轉瞬即逝。這種自傳式的刻畫，似乎正在抵達某種更加普遍的焦慮和錯愕。

或許那些殘留在邊角與縫隙中的微小構造，從未真正指向一個穩固的歸處，而只是記錄著停留的時間、消耗的痕跡，以及一種始終未能完成的姿態。

Between light and darkness, there is not only contrast, but also transition. At dusk, as the sun tilts westward, the light weakens, and space gradually sinks into shadow. A world once defined by clarity of form and order is slowly engulfed by ambiguity and indeterminacy.
—Excerpt from ZHU Tao, Ode to Light: Twenty‑Two Days of Travel Sketches in Italy

光與暗之間除了對比，還有過渡。黃昏，太陽西斜，光線變弱，空間逐漸暗下來。一個形象和秩序分明的世界，慢慢被曖昧、渾沌淹沒

’architecture it the masterly, correct and magnificent interplay of masses brought together in light‘——Le Corbusier’s aphorism has nearly become a catchphrase. But it was only during this trip—under the relentless midsummer sun of the Mediterranean, closely reading buildings along the way—that its meaning finally became clear to me. At its most direct, he was saying this: light is what allows pure geometric forms to reveal themselves with precision.
—Excerpt from ZHU Tao, Ode to Light: Twenty‑Two Days of Travel Sketches in Italy

「建築是對陽光下體量的精煉的、正確的和卓越的處理」——勒·柯布西耶的警句幾乎成了口頭禪。但我感覺只有這次旅行，一路頂著盛夏地中海的烈日，仔細看建築，才真正明白他在說什麼。他最直接的意思，當然是：光使各種純粹的幾何體精確地顯形。

Watercolor on paper, 水彩紙本
33.1 x 23.5 cm

(Jialing River)For the whole year’s end, a fine drizzle laced with sulfuric acid drifted down. Rainwater that had arrived early and not yet evaporated still clung to the stone statue’s shoulders. One hand was held behind its back, the other slightly opened forward, as if it had witnessed those long, clamorous afternoons. Clouds of water that would not gather into a mass coiled along the spines of the distant mountains, piling up at the statue’s far-off point of vision into a screen. Across this basin where the Yangtze extends inward as an inland river, they drifted with the passing of years, each murmuring inwardly, growing sparse and desolate.
— Wu Yonghui, A Hundred Years of Solitude, originally published in the inaugural issue of Spatial Culture

（嘉陵江）整個年底都飄着帶硫酸的細雨。石像的肩膊還沾着早來沒有蒸乾的雨水，一手揹負着，一手向前微張，彷彿見到長長的午後的喧囂時光，聚不成團的水雲盤在遠山的脊樑上，在石像的遠日點上堆聚成一幅屏障，在這長江伸向爲內河的盆地上，隨同年光流逝各自沈吟寥落。

（嘉陵江）整個年底都飄着帶硫酸的細雨。石像的肩膊還沾着早來沒有蒸乾的雨水，一手揹負着，一手向前微張，彷彿見到長長的午後的喧囂時光，聚不成團的水雲盤在遠山的脊樑上，在石像的遠日點上堆聚成一幅屏障，在這長江伸向爲內河的盆地上，隨同年光流逝各自沈吟寥落。

(Jialing River)For the whole year’s end, a fine drizzle laced with sulfuric acid drifted down. Rainwater that had arrived early and not yet evaporated still clung to the stone statue’s shoulders. One hand was held behind its back, the other slightly opened forward, as if it had witnessed those long, clamorous afternoons. Clouds of water that would not gather into a mass coiled along the spines of the distant mountains, piling up at the statue’s far-off point of vision into a screen.

‘Each sketching or painting is, in a specific time and space, a high degree of coordination between the eyes, hands, and heart, not just ”looking at “ the world, but ”seeing“ it.’
——ZHU Tao

‘In Zhu Tao’s manuscripts, what I see is not merely scenery, but cities with different temperaments and atmospheres. One feels present within them. I can almost smell those places: Venice soaked in sunlight, rain-drenched Kyoto, the wind-blown landscapes of Qinghai beneath a blazing sun, and Greece where the air carries the salt of the sea and the wind is filled with its scent.’
—— Lí WEI

「每一次寫生繪畫，都是在某個特定時空中，通過眼手心的高度協同，不僅僅『看世界』，而是『看見』世界。」
——朱濤

「在朱濤的手稿中，我看到的不僅僅是景觀，而是不同氣質和氛圍的城市。身臨其境，我甚至可以聞到那些地方的氣味：浸泡在陽光裡的威尼斯，濕漉漉的落雨的京都，風沙漫天，倉日高懸的青海地貌，以及空氣中帶有鹹味，海風瀰漫的希臘。」

This exhibition also feels like a gentle resistance against creativity in the age of AI. Today, AI can effortlessly generate stunning artworks—imitating countless styles, producing perfect compositions and colors within seconds. It seems we no longer lack “beautiful works.” Yet AI ultimately has no life, no sensations. It cannot experience the freshness of the air after rain, cannot feel the soft brush of willow branches against one’s face, and cannot possess the singular, unrepeatable experiences that humans gather on their journeys.

Professor Zhu’s sketch manuscripts, on the contrary, are the truest reflections of how he measures the world with his footsteps, captures beauty with his senses, and records the present moment with his brush.

—Excerpt from 《The Art at The Moment》 by Jassie, MA in Museum Studies, Faculty of Arts, The University of Hong Kong

這場展覽，也像是對AI時代創作的一種溫柔對抗。如今，AI可以輕鬆生成一幅幅精美絕倫的畫作，它能模仿各種風格，能快速呈現完美的構圖與色彩，我們似乎不再缺少「美的作品」。可AI終究沒有生命，沒有感知，它無法體會雨後初晴的清新，無法感受垂柳拂面的溫柔，更無法擁有人類在旅行中，那份獨一無二的體驗。

而朱教授的寫生手稿，恰恰就是他用腳步丈量世界，用感官捕捉美好，用畫筆記錄當下的最好寫照。

The dim light of Wang Fuk Court 宏福苑頂上幽光, 2026
Colored pencil on paper, 彩色鉛筆紙本
21 x 41.2 cm

even in the darkest of times we have the right to expect some illumination, and that such illumination may well come less from theories and concepts than from the uncertain, flickering, and often weak light that some men and women, in their lives and their works, will kindle under almost all circumstances and shed over the time span that was given them on earth-this conviction is the inarticulate back ground against which these profiles were drawn.
——Hannah Arendt,Men in Dark Times

「即使在最黑暗的時刻，我們也有權期待一線光明，而這種光明或許並非來自理論和概念，而是來自某些不確定的、閃爍的、往往十分微弱的光，源於一些男女的生命與作品，幾乎在任何情況下都可以被點燃，並散射在他們所被賦予的時代之中。」

When we arrive at the site, we can, from a rational perspective, understand how ancient Egyptian architecture—through structural techniques, spatial organization, and artistic ornamentation—embodies rich cultural meanings and profound religious significance.

Yet perhaps more important is our opportunity to personally experience the great poetics of spaces: the grandeur of the pyramids, the solemn stillness of the Sphinx, the dimness of the sun temples, and the mysterious, oppressive atmosphere created by the dappled interplay of light and shadow within the forest of colossal columns…
These poetics transcend cultural differences, temporal changes, and professional boundaries, offering us profound insights into life itself.
——Excerpt from the preface of ”Eternal-Daily LIfe: A Journey to Egyptian Classical & Modern Architecture“ by ZHU Tao

我們到達現場，自然可從理性的角度認識古埃及建築如何通過結構技術、空間配置和藝術裝飾，展現出豐厚文化意義和宗教內涵。

但也許更重要的是，我們得以親身體驗那些偉大的空間詩意：金字塔的輝煌、獅身人面像的靜穆、太陽神廟的幽暗、巨柱林中光影斑駁形成的神秘壓抑感……這些詩意超越文化差異、時空變遷和專業界限，給我們以生命啟迪。

”Looking at the manuscripts in the gallery, it seems that I understand a little bit deeper meaning of this exhibition. German philosopher Martin Heidegger once used Dasein to describe his philosophy, which act as the awareness and perseverance in the present. Our existence is composed of countless ‘moments’, which we ignored and experienced with our hearts, but the truest marks of our life. Professor Zhu‘s manuscripts is an impromptu record of his travels, without preset purpose or deliberate crafting, but true perception of the scenery.

It is the rainy environment of the Miho Museum, where he hastily applied a few strokes of the view; It is the looming of gentle silhouette of the Leifeng Pagoda, through the swaying weeping willows by the West Lake; It is the moment under the huge stone pillar of Karnak Temple, his enlightenment of history and civilization. These records are just like morning dew reflecting the morning light, holding both the radiance of beauty and the most devout tribute to ’the moment‘. Beauty is its texture, and the present is its soul.“

—Excerpt from 《The Art at The Moment》 by Jassie, MA in Museum Studies, Faculty of Arts, The University of Hong Kong

「看著展廳裏一幅幅手稿，我似乎讀懂了這場展覽更深層的意義。哲學家海德格爾以『此在』（Dasein）作爲其哲學的入口。而『此在』的表現之一，便是對當下的覺知與堅守。我們的存在，正是由無數個『此刻』構成，那些被我們忽略的瞬間、用心體驗的當下，才是生命最真實的印記。

朱教授的每一幅手稿，都是他出行寫生時的即興記錄，沒有預設的目的，沒有刻意的雕琢，有的只是對當下景致的真實感知。是日本美秀美術館雨中，他匆忙勾勒的幾筆朦朧意境；是西湖邊垂柳搖曳時，雷峰塔若隱若現的溫婉輪廓；是卡納克神廟巨大石柱下，他對歷史與文明的片刻感悟。這些點點滴滴，既是對美的極致詮釋，更是對『此刻』最虔誠的致敬。」
