The 14th Taipei Biennial in 2025 will start from the overlapping history of Taiwan and will use various public projects such as exhibitions, performances, on-site productions, and forums as a basis to capture the ineffable connections between personal memories and collective consciousness and to reconstruct the relationship between people and the world with emotional thinking.This year's Taipei Biennial will be curated by the duo of curators Sam Bardaouil from Lebanon and Till Fellrath from Germany. The two curators have served as co-directors of the Hamburger Bahnhof-Museum für Gegenwart in Berlin since 2022. With multiple professional knowledge and cultural backgrounds in art history, theater, economics and politics, the two are good at thinking about the close relationship between exhibitions and cities from different perspectives and exploring the potential of local history and international dialogue. In 2022, they co-curated the 16th Lyon Biennale "Manifesto of Fragility" and the French Pavilion of the 59th Venice Biennale in the same year. "Our curatorial approach will continue the ongoing plan, focusing on artists and allowing the voices of those who strive to expand our understanding of this complex world to be heard," said Bardaouil and Fellrath in a statement.

"Eternal Picasso" Light Art Exhibition: Art, Muse, and Confidant—[Five Exhibition Highlights, Seven Exhibition Zones] Throughout the history of 20th-century art, Picasso stands as an eternal flame, igniting the spirit of creativity and exploration. A pioneering artist who dared to break convention and forge new horizons, each creation posed a profound questioning of himself and his time. He depicted loneliness with blue, expressed tenderness with pink, and defied all expectations with Cubism. This exhibition takes you into his creative soul, revealing the artist's life through the lens of light and shadow. This exhibition allows viewers to move beyond simply "seeing Picasso's paintings" to "entering Picasso's creations."

Section 1 | Artistic Pioneers in the Great Waves of the Times: Journey along the axis of time, glimpsing the growth of young talents amidst the great waves of the 20th century. From the artistic initiation of their adolescence to their studies and explorations in Barcelona and Paris, every step was closely intertwined with war, politics, and social change. Each image and story reminds the audience: art is not just about self-expression; it can also challenge the world and rewrite history. Section 2 | Picasso Gallery: Deconstruction and Reconstruction.

Each shift in light and shadow echoes the spirit of the work, transforming the artist's reflections on the world, life, and emotion into a visual and auditory resonance.

[Assyrian Civilization – The Roar of Power and Order] The Assyrian civilization, centered on kingship and conquest, is presented in an immersive space designed around the concept of an ancient palace. Light and shadow reconstruct the hunting reliefs on the facade—the lion's muscular physique, galloping posture, and the moment of drawing the bow are magnified, symbolizing the Assyrian cultural spirit that reveres power. The surrounding cuneiform script, like historical inscriptions emerging from clay tablets, illuminates one by one in the dark space, revealing the Assyrian logic of governing the state through recording events, establishing legal codes, and preserving military achievements. Writing is considered a crucial cornerstone in establishing the civilization's structure. [Egyptian Civilization – The Gaze of Eternal Light] Egyptian civilization, with "eternity" as its core concept, constructed a ritual space between life and death. The geometric outlines of the pyramids, the gaze of the statues, and the rhythm of hieroglyphs gradually emerge in the dim light, fully presenting a worldview based on the concept of regeneration. The Rosetta Stone, replicated to scale, showcases the layered structure of language, with the three scripts lighting up sequentially under the image, making the process of deciphering ancient Egyptian languages tangible.

[Mediterranean Civilization – A Crossroads of Myth and Reason] The Mediterranean Civilization exhibition, themed around the cultural transition from myth to reason, uses light and shadow, architectural language, and dynamic symbols to present the intellectual landscape shaped by Greece and Rome. Colonnades, arches, and sculptural outlines emerge sequentially in the space, creating a visual rhythm that combines light and depth, symbolizing the interweaving and evolution between civilizations. The juxtaposition of multiple images demonstrates how Mediterranean civilization achieved a balance between imagination and thought, symbolizing humanity's cultural transformation from divine narratives to a rational world. [Indian Civilization – The Wheel of Life: Light and Shadow] The Indian Civilization exhibition area uses "The Cycle of Life" as its central theme, constructing a space that blends urban rationality with mystical philosophy through light and shadow, water ripples, and symbolic imagery. The Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro, its stepped architecture, and fragments of urban planning are presented in soft lighting, showcasing the highly ordered urban structure that had already formed in ancient India by 3000 BC. This exhibition area presents the unique characteristics of ancient Indian civilization interwoven in urban planning, linguistic symbols, and the philosophy of life: a civilization that constructs the world with order and understands life through cycles. The exhibition begins with Assyria, where hunting reliefs are magnified by light and shadow, human-headed winged bulls emerge from the shadows, and cuneiform script lights up one by one, outlining the logic of an empire founded on power and writing. Moving to Egyptian civilization, the geometry of the pyramids, the gaze of the statues, and hieroglyphs slowly emerge, while projections of mummy rituals and journeys to the underworld reveal the core of ancient Egypt's belief in "eternity." The Mediterranean section presents an interplay between Greek mythology and Roman rationality; finally, arriving at Indian civilization, the Great Bath, urban planning, and undeciphered animal seals unfold layer by layer in soft light, while mandalas and projections of reincarnation guide visitors into philosophical reflections on the cycle of life.
