In this installment of Vortex, an artist-scholar duo occupies the shared field to jointly present an integrative project of climate ecological theatre. Onsite, audiences encounter intricate entwinement of artistic creation and academic production, which yields an extrasensory “vortex” that activates aleatory intertextuality throughout the experiential field.

What does the body become in art when it refuses to be docile, beautiful, and whole?

Could "2"—as a state of fluidity between the singular and the diverse—serve as a theoretical lens, inspiring richer intellectual discussion?

To allow the audience to extend this wondrous fragrance experience beyond the exhibition, MACA, in collaboration with 432 PERFUME, will host a perfumery workshop, guiding participants on a unique journey of scent exploration.

Similar questions often recur throughout art history, and past experiences continue to offer important points of reference—it is within these echoes that we attempt to seek contemporary answers.
