NEWS: Stories Written by the Sky

Premieres at National Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, Taiwan October 25, 2025





If a seed could speak of its memories, which fragments would it carry into the future? In this immersive cinematic installation, the red quinoa becomes narrator: not merely a plant, but a witness, a traveler. It tells us that it has tasted the hot breeze of Taiwan and once laid still beneath the permafrost of the Arctic.

Stories Written by the Sky is a collaborative work by HSURAE Studio, Nancy Valladares, HWH, DYNOMAN, and Paul Yeh. Inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault and the surrounding Arctic terrain, the work constructs a narrative journey that spans geological time, evolutionary time, and human time. The story is non-linear and does not belong to a single subject. It is a spiraling, collective dream, reassembled again and again through audience interaction.
