Context
展覽概述

The exhibition captivates 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.

It 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 infrastructure, 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 capture 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.

Lived Space (public)｜Jill Zheng (CN)
‘Lived Space’ is the shared title to the two exhibited works, which centre around ‘space’ as the moulding force from public to private. The first piece, ‘Lived Space (public)’, is a visual poem which alchemizes found image, language, graphic arrangement and colour. Running through the center is an intimate dialogue and semiotic interaction between the found image of Bahnhofstrasse-in-plan that Herianto drew during the city development project of the 70’s and the meandering poetic text which mimics the shape of the tram that snake through the very ‘Freifläche/open space’ that Herianto planned in order to reduce car emission. The colour of orange and green from his blueprint radiate and ripple across the rest of the text arranged on different planes from the flat surface, creating architectural and textural dimensions. As everything artfully converges upon the word ‘life’, life is literally given in the act of the space being read, as a conceptual and semiotic process of the public space Herianto developed being lived.

Lived Space (home)｜Jill Zheng (CN)
The second piece, ‘Lived Space (home)’, is a poem dedicated and woven to the home where it was born. Stairs connect spaces and are a tactile form for Jill’s writing. Seeking to integrate language and the concrete steps, the poet transforms the staircase into an experiential space that embeds reading with movement. As visitors ascend, they encounter the poem step by step with her handwriting and typographic design referencing the Kho family. The physicality and kineticity play an essential role in conceptualising space – poetic or domestic – as to be experienced, to be lived.

Kinship｜Caroline Ip (UK)
“Kinship” uses the fluid and adaptable form of patchwork to explore the multiplicity of diasporic cultural identities, capturing the home in Schubertstrasse as a vessel for memories and experiences of past, present, and future inhabitants.

The quilt features an array of fabrics collected during the Sulindro’s life here, including cutoffs from clothing, remnants from furnishings, and scraps of batik textiles from Indonesia, as well as linen and silk dyed using tea and avocado skins collected during the period of our residency. Colorful blocks echo the spaces of the house, and lines trace plants – from Herianto’s photography, gardening, and blueprints- referencing the significance of nature in his shaping of nurturing spaces, and his family’s mixed cultural identity.

This piece is intended to be held, with its textures and stitches conveying the warmth, heartache, nostalgia, and longing that permeate this space. We invite you to engage with the quilt: feel free to remove it from its clips, wrap it around yourself, and sit on the chairs or bed to read and explore the other objects in the space.

The Art of the Possible｜Arne Schmitt, (DE)
In the research phase of this project, Arne Schmitt took photographs of sites in Zurich that Herianto Sulindro worked on as an urban planner. The exact influence and decisions that he took in the complex process of planning and designing of these places are impossible to extract for outsiders, especially in hindsight. Confronting these very public and contextual places with the private environment of the planner, after him having left the house, inspires new paths of thinking about legacy and what traces a person and their work leave behind.

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。

生活空間 (公共)｜Jill Zheng (中國)
兩件展出作品的共同標題《生活空間》，圍繞著「空間」作為從公共到私人的塑造力量。第一件作品《生活空間 (公共)》是一首視覺詩，它將現有的圖像、語言、圖形排列和色彩融為一體。

貫穿畫面中心的是赫里安托在70年代城市發展項目中繪製的班霍夫大街 (Bahnhofstrasse) 規劃，圖像與模仿蜿蜒穿過街道的有軌電車形狀的詩意文本之間，創造出親密對話和符號學互動。在平面藍圖中，橙色和綠色有著不同的圖層排列、文字輻射和圖像漣漪，創造出建築和紋理的多層維度。當一切都巧妙地集中在「生命」這個詞上時，生命實際上是在被閱讀的空間的行為中賦予的，作為赫里安托規劃設計的公共空間的概念和符號學過程。

生活空間 (家)｜Jill Zheng (中國)
第二首作品《生活空間 (家）》是一首獻給它誕生的家的詩。樓梯連結空間，是 Jill 寫作的一種觸覺形式。為了將語言和具體的樓階融為一體，詩人將樓梯變成了將閱讀與運動融為一體的體驗空間。當觀者往上走的時候，他們會一步一步地看到這首詩，她的筆跡和字卡設計都參考了許氏家族留下的物件。將空間 (詩意的或家庭的) 概念化為物理性和動態性皆可體驗、生活的過程，並且發揮著至關重要的作用。

親屬關係｜Caroline Ip (英國)
作品《親屬關係》利用流動且適應性強的拼布形式來探索離散文化認同的多樣性，將舒伯特街公寓視為過去、現在和未來居民記憶和經歷的容器。

被子採用了蘇林德羅家族在這裡生活期間的一系列面料，包括衣服下腳料、窗簾殘片和來自印尼的蠟染紡織品碎布，以及使用我們駐村期間收集的茶和酪梨果皮染色的亞麻和絲綢。繽紛的色塊與房子的空間相互呼應，線條則描繪出植物輪廓 —來自赫里安託的攝影、園藝和藍圖，參考了自然元素在他塑造空間中的重要性，以及他與家庭的混合文化認同。

這件作品旨在被持有，紋理和縫線傳達了瀰漫在這個空間中的溫暖、心痛、懷舊和渴望。我們邀請您與被子互動：將其包裹在自己身上，然後坐在椅子或床上閱讀和探索空間中的其他物體。

可能的藝術｜阿恩・施密特 (德國)
在該計畫的研究階段，阿恩・施密特 (Arne Schmitt) 拍攝了赫里安托・蘇林德羅 (Herianto Sulindro) 作為城市規劃師期間，在蘇黎世工作的地點的照片。在這些複雜的規劃與設計過程中，赫里安托・蘇林德羅究竟發揮了怎樣的影響，做出了怎樣的決定，外人是無法得知的，尤其是在事後。在規劃師離開家之後，將這些非常公共和深具歷史背景的地方與他的私人環境面對面，激發了人們對文化資產以及個人和他的工作所留下的痕跡的新思考。
