Whispering Wall

Whispering Wall is a folding screen installation set on a grassy mound beside the Museum Plaza. Moved from its original indoor setting to the open air, the screen sheds its role as a spatial divider, and becomes a quiet and contemplative presence in the landscape.

Merging industrial fabrication with display aesthetics, the installation opens a dialogue with the floral motifs found in ancient imperial treasures. As its panels lift and fold like the opening of storage chests, floral patterns from the Palace Museum’s collection emerge and unfold within the creases of the screen, returning to the shared sky with breath and light.
