Zurich and London – The recent exhibitions, “The Invisible Trajectory: Drifting Sounds and Shadows Between Cities,” captivate audiences in two major European cities: Zurich and London. Curated by Yipei Lee and Sharo Liang, this thought-provoking exhibition explores the intricate relationship between migrants and urban spaces, offering a deep reflection on how individuals create personal and emotional spaces within foreign landscapes.
The exhibition focuses on the theme of migration, examining how the movement of people across borders influences the construction and deconstruction of urban environments. Through a compelling mix of sounds, visual art, and public space installations, the exhibition highlights the experiences of migrants as they navigate unfamiliar cities, building new trajectories while maintaining connections to their cultural heritage.
The featured artists, Arne Schmitt, Caroline Ip, Herianto Sulindro (Kho, Lien Hek), and Jill Zheng, present a compelling series of works that bridges the personal and public domains of migrant life. Drawing inspiration from urban planner Herianto Sulindro’s experiences and the migration histories of others, Sulindro’s pieces captures the urban landscape, social phenomena, and ephemeral moments that reflect the nuances of Zurich’s city development. His work resonates with a universal message of resilience, community, and the perpetual search for belonging in cities undergoing constant transformation.
Inspired by strollogy, photographer Arne Schmitt explores the relationship between urbanization and modernization from the 1960s to the early 2000s. Through a series of photographs and urban projects in which Sulindro was involved during his career, Schmitt illustrates how the realization of infrastructure conveys the possibilities of art in shaping cities and artistic practice.
In line with the exhibition’s rhythm, Jill Zheng‘s linguistic pieces reflect fragments of displacement and adaptation, embody through space and time. Her works convey a deep appreciation for non-Western voices, as well as natural and cultural landscapes.
Caroline Ip‘s fabric patches interwove memories of migration and multiple identities, exploring themes of displacement, relocation, and the recreation of generational stories spanning both Asian and European experiences. Beyond the sense of belonging, her works reflect on the layers of “making a home” through the observation of gardens, interior homes, and family memories.
In closing, the exhibition invites audiences in both Zurich and London to engage in dialogues about migration, identity, and urban living. The immersive environments at the exhibition venues allow visitors to experience the ‘invisible trajectories’ of migrants in real time, encouraging reflections on how lives are continuously shaped by mobility and the urban spaces inhabited, whether temporarily or permanently.

蘇黎世 & 倫敦 — 近期展覽《隱形軌跡：漂移於城與城之間的聲影》，由李依佩和梁棨筑策劃，邀請蘇黎世與倫敦兩大歐洲城市的觀眾，探索移民與城市空間之間錯綜複雜的交織關係。展覽聚焦於遷移者與異地城市的互動，通過移民的經驗框架與城市公共建設的平行對比，探討跨境流動如何影響遷移者在城市中創建家的脈絡。聲音、視覺藝術與公共空間的重構與解構，展現了移民在陌生城市中的航行，如何在新舊軌跡之間交織，並與其文化根源保持聯繫的生命經歷。
特邀藝術家 Arne Schmitt、Caroline Ip、Herianto Sulindro (Kho, Lien Hek) 與 Jill Zheng，呈現了一系列關於移民經驗、都市景觀與公共建設的創作，展現出深刻的社會與文化脈絡。都市規劃師赫里安托・蘇林德羅 (許麟赫) 的作品，捕捉著城市景觀、社會現象和短暫瞬間的現代性，反映出蘇黎世城市發展的細微變化。他的作品回應了城市在不斷轉型中的集體韌性、社區感和對歸屬感的永恆追尋。
受到漫步學的啟發，攝影師 Arne Schmitt 探討了 1960 年代至 2000 年代初期城市化與現代化的關係。通過蘇林德羅職業生涯中的城市項目與系列照片，施密特揭示了基礎建設在城市發展及其藝術實踐中的多種可能性。
詩人藝術家 Jill Zheng 的語言作品與展覽的節奏相呼應，通過空間與時間的身體性體現，再現位移與適應的片段。她的創作也展現了對非西方人視角於西方世界的聲音、自然與文化景觀的深刻認同與讚賞。
視覺藝術家 Caroline Ip 的織物拼貼作品將移民記憶與多重空間和身份交織在一起，探討橫跨亞洲與歐洲流離失所、遷移與跨世代故事的重塑經歷。她的作品不僅聚焦於歸屬感，還深入觀察了花園、居家空間與家庭記憶的不同層次，對「家」的建構進行了新的詮釋。
最後，展覽邀請蘇黎世與倫敦的觀眾參與關於移民、身份與城市生活的對話。透過藝術家的視角，觀眾得以一窺藏匿於其中的「隱形軌跡」，並反思流動性與城市空間 —— 無論是暫時還是永久 —— 如何不斷塑造我們的生命經驗。
