Wu Chi-Tsung’s Wire IV will be featured in Black Myth, the latest major exhibition at White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney. The exhibition opens on 25 June 2026 and runs through 8 November 2026.

One of Australia’s foremost private museums devoted to contemporary Chinese art, White Rabbit Gallery was founded by collector Judith Neilson and holds a collection of more than three thousand works. Black Myth takes its inspiration from the viral video game Black Myth: Wukong (2024) and the literary classic it reimagines, Journey to the West, tracing the idea of the journey in all its forms—from physical travel to time travel, from inner odysseys to cosmic voyages—delving ever deeper into distinctly Eastern visions of transformation and transcendence.

Begun in 2003, Wu’s Wire series uses the basic structure of a slide projection: through mechanically controlled, continuously shifting focus, an ordinary piece of wire mesh is transformed into a moving image evocative of a Chinese landscape, exploring how the image reshapes the way we see and imagine the world. Created in 2009, Wire IV takes the “sense of distance” in the image as its theme. Zooming is a way of seeing that belongs purely to the recording apparatus, creating a “fictional sense of distance” detached from a person’s actual position, distance, and perspective in space. The image changes how we look at the world and reconstructs our perception of reality, granting us unprecedented freedom—with one minor side effect: it becomes hard to remember where we stand when we look at the world.

吳季璁的作品《鐵絲網 IV》將於雪梨白兔美術館（White Rabbit Gallery）的最新典藏展「Black Myth」中展出，於 2026 年 6 月 25 日開幕，展期至 11 月 8 日。

白兔美術館是澳洲專注於中國當代藝術的重要私人美術館，由收藏家 Judith Neilson 創辦，典藏逾三千件作品。此次「Black Myth」以中國爆紅電玩遊戲《黑神話：悟空》（2024）及其改編的文學經典《西遊記》為靈感，探討「旅程」的各種形態——從現實的遠行到時間的穿越，從內在的探索到宇宙的航行——層層深入屬於東方文化的轉化與超越想像。

《鐵絲網》系列始於 2003 年，以幻燈投影為基本架構，透過機械控制反覆調焦，將一片平凡的鐵絲網轉化為充滿山水意境的動態影像，藉此探討影像如何改變我們觀看、想像外在世界的方式。創作於 2009 年的《鐵絲網 IV》，以影像的「距離感」為主軸：變焦是純然屬於影像機具的觀看邏輯，造就一種跳脫人在空間中位置、距離與視角的「虛構的距離感」。影像轉換了我們觀看世界的方式，也重新建構了對真實的認知，賦予人類前所未有的自由，卻也帶來一個小小的副作用：讓人再也難以想起，自己究竟站在何處看這世界。
