Amber Kuang's Performance Exhibition 'In Bilico' Explores Balance and Cultural Identity in Florence
Taiwanese artist Amber Kuang presented 'In Bilico 臨界的平衡,' a performance and exhibition at Chiasso Perduto in Florence from December 11-14, 2025. The work examines equilibrium as both physical practice and cultural metaphor, drawing from Kuang's experiences living in Taiwan, the United States, Brazil, and Italy. The installation featured elements like red ropes, acupuncture tools, and paint markings that trace bodily memory, alongside projected images showing resistance and release. Curated by Sandra Miranda Pattin and Francesca Morozzi, the exhibition documented Kuang's process of decolonizing her body from personal and external judgments.
