“Luo Jr-Shin’s installation work ‘Like a filter, matters passed through you and became a part of you’, which is a consolidated, upgraded edition of his two previous solo exhibitions ‘Snails (Not Included)’ (2019) and ‘Like a Urinal in a Nightclub’ (2018). A metaphor for the explosive bestial state of primal desires is created through hybrid space outfitted like a nightclub, boutique, or motel with cheap vinyl flooring and matting; buckets of iodine solution; sinks whose spout are connected to water pumps; snail shells sans snails and vibrant fruits; implements for making liquid stimulants like glass vessels, filtering papers, funnels and mortar and pestle, etc.; a mirror fitted with florescent lights in a UV printed metal frame; and even contains Viagra. These arenas composed of “ill-materialism” are vessels for mortal desires and come from the most primal of human fears–loneliness that seeks out loneliness.”

– excerpt from the curatorial statement of ‘Subzoology’ by Yao Jui-Chung
