The Bodhi Tree in Bosch’s Garden - Maia Liu


Friday-Sunday, November 8-10

The Bodhi Tree in Bosch’s Garden is a video installation that traces Liu's exploration of her father’s archive of art made in the 1990s during his time in Europe. In her attempt to grasp the meaning of his works and accompanying notes, she relies on the cultural mediation of her best friend Yezi, whose diasporic experience strongly resonates with that of Liu’s father (whom she herself barely knows). The installation offers a playful yet complex interplay of appropriation, projection, intimidation, and admiration among the three characters—the father’s artworks, the daughter, and her friend.
