The Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM) presents the collateral event "Screen Melancholy: Li Yi-Fan" at the 61st Venice Biennale, held at the Palazzo delle Prigioni from May 9 to November 22, 2026. The exhibition features a new video installation and mixed-media work by Taiwanese artist Li Yi-Fan, curated by Raphael Fonseca, curator of visual arts at Culturgest in Lisbon and Porto. The installation integrates large-scale sculptural fragments with video and sound, exploring how screens mediate perception and emotional experience, in dialogue with the Biennale's theme "In Minor Keys."
This exhibition marks TFAM's first presentation at the Palazzo delle Prigioni since 1995, underscoring Taiwan's sustained presence at the Venice Biennale. By addressing the universal tension between boundless knowledge and finite life through the lens of digital melancholy, the show contributes to broader conversations about technology's impact on human experience, resonating with global audiences beyond regional boundaries.
