The Very Existence of Beauty and Their Stories | 李明維 Mingwei Lee | TEDxTaipei

李明維透過三個他創作期間發生的小故事，提醒大家重新檢視自己和周遭人事物間的「關係」
Born in Taiwan in 1964 and currently living in Paris, Mingwei Lee creates participatory installations where strangers can explore issues of trust, intimacy, and self-awareness through one-on-one interactions. Such experiments invite participants to contemplate these issues with the artist over meals, sleepovers, hikes, and conversations. As he records each of his project findings, many of Lee’s participatory subjects have proactively opened up to him, allowing greater depth of understanding in the topics of his experiments.
1964年生於台灣，目前居住於巴黎。李明維擅於透過與陌生人的互動，在彼此逐漸熟悉的過程裡和自我意識的覺醒間，探索信任與親密等議題。藝術家透過食衣住臥等生活作息，探索日常事件的核心本質。而不同的記錄模式，使參與者主動開創出的對話持續在展覽中進行著，也豐富了原有的展出形貌與更加開放的公眾面向。

And I'm fortunate enough to have encountered you, probably my favourite artist. At 35, I finally feel like living. Listening to my body and my mind, appreciating every encounter with anything. I used to have a strong sense of FOMO, now I've realised that no one is going to know everything, have all the answers. Quality always wins over quantity. Thank you for your beautiful speech.

Life is full of beautiful encounters and works of art if you look and listen close enough
