碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 新聞學系碩士在職專班 === 101 === This thesis focusing on the art exhibition “The Geometry of Passion: A Solo Exhibition by Chen Hui-Chiao” which discusses the differences between the artist’s creative concepts and brochures’ texts. In terms of “symbol” and “narrative”, we attempts to approach the artworks’ implications by interviews and the artist’s contexts of reading, and investigate the usage of ping pong balls’ symbols expression and suggestiveness. Our results indicate that because “ping pong balls” in Chen Hui-Chiao’s artworks are dynamic and flexible, audiences should observe a whole work to understand the balls’ implications. In the past, many reports noted Chen Hui-Chiao intrest constellations and dreams, so brochures’ texts were written tending to horoscope and mysteries. On account of this, audiences are guided indirectly to a specific point of view. Except the brochures, audiences may consult the title to see an artwork because titles are always set by the artist, and they can find new perspectives on artworks.
