Root To Table

向世界公開台灣可食花草

For Island 133's inaugural exhibition, chief curator Alfie Lin explores the theme "Edible Flower Shop", attempting to "rediscover" how the flowers that grow from this land represent Taiwan's rich geographic and geological landscapes, diverse ethnic cultures, as well as the layered convergence and collision of foreign and local influences. The exhibition carefully selects 133 edible flowers, herbs and plants, combining perspectives from 7 experts across different fields. Through interviews, data collection and editing, it re-deciphers the rich chapters of Taiwan's exclusive edible flora.

The exhibition's theme "ROOT TO TABLE" adopts the virtuous cycle of life as its design concept. The encircling "Circle" expresses the theme, exploring the possibilities of our land and life from the "roots". The main visuals combine photography of actual flowers, herbs and text design, using illustrations to present the details and postures of the 133 edible species, conveying the imagery of a vibrant flower shop blooming in spring.

The exhibition experience includes "experiential lectures" where the participating experts are invited to share stories about plants, jointly exploring the little-known aspects of edible flora.

Island 133首檔策展,主策展人凌宗湧以「可以吃的花店」為題,試圖「再發現」這塊土地生長出來的花,如何代表台灣豐富的地理地質風貌、多元的民族文化,還有層層疊疊外來與本土的交會碰撞,並精心挑選133種可食用的花草植物,結合7位不同領域專家的視角,並透過訪談、資料採集與編輯的方式,重新解密台灣限定的可食花草的豐富篇章。

這次的展覽主題字 ROOT TO TABLE 以良善的生命循環為設計概念,環繞的 Circle 來表達主題,從「根」探究認識我們的土地和生活的可能性。主視覺結合實體花草的攝影及文字設計,並透過插畫呈現出133種可食花草的細節及姿態,讓整體意象傳遞出春季充滿繽紛花草的花店樣貌。

展覽體驗設計了「體驗式講座」,邀請此次參展的專家們分享各項關於植物的故事,一同探究可食花草植物不為人所知的一面。
