Huang Chih-Cheng & Hao, “Lumen,” 2025
In “Lumen,” a pair of hands cups light as if the formless radiance has become a liquid — something with weight and movement. The work refers to the traditional use of metallic foil in East Asian interiors, where reflective surfaces were not only decorative but also functional, capturing and refracting faint light to illuminate dark spaces before electricity.
Through this relationship between light and material, Huang Chih-Cheng & Hao explore how cultural memory and history can be carried through material itself.
“Lumen” is presented as part of “Stalker,” the first New York and U.S. solo exhibition by Taiwanese artist duo Huang Chih-Cheng & Hao. Based in Taipei, Huang Chih-Cheng (b. 1988) and Liou Jyun-Hao (b. 1992) have worked collaboratively since 2021.
On view through September 26, 2026 at Fragment, New York.
