TAIWAN NEW WAVE 東方藝式流 - "XANADU MOTION” Paris September 18th - 21st, 2019

alamak!project proudly presents
TAIWAN NEW WAVE 東方藝式流 EXHIBITION "XANADU MOTION




TAIWAN NEW WAVE - Xanadu Motion exhibition at the Espace Commines in Paris, September 18th - 21st, was a great success.

With fashion as language, art as format and culture as its essence, the exhibition incorporated Taiwanese fashion, art,  music, technology, tea art and cuisine from 12 creators and brands.
Merging fashion elements with contemporary art and presented in the form of an art gallery, the exhibition provided Paris an oriental cultural experience to kick off Fashion Week.
One of the most liberal countries in Asia, with vivid contemporary design and a unique technological environment, Taiwan provides a glimpse into the future of Asia. As millennials grow up in a completely different environment in the post Made-in-Taiwan era, more genuine, self-aware and independent identities are portrayed from philosophical, social and psychological perspectives, and expressed through visual culture, arts, fashion, photography and film.
New voices of the future, they push the boundaries of technology and craftsmanship: from rope-art to haute-couture, feather work, painting, photography, video art, ceramics and jewellery.


alamak!project has produced in Taiwan the video Xanadu Motion featuring models wearing designer Kilin Chen 張暘's couture dresses, in collaboration with famous Japanese underwater filmmaker Manabu Koga 古賀学.
