「希望的另一面/9天」不僅僅是一場展覽，而是一段穿越人類情感深處的旅程，從無意識到有意識，從悲傷到希望。

Dr. Wumen Ghua的策展概念圍繞莫比烏斯環展開，象徵著希望和存在的循環性。展覽邀請參觀者踏上螺旋序列的旅程，探索失落、孤獨，及最終人類精神的堅韌。

以Mola Oddity首張專輯《希望的另一面》啓發，展覽的每一天都對應專輯中的一首曲目，將音樂和視覺藝術編織成和諧的表達交響。此次群展展示了來自不同背景的藝術家，超越了地理和文化的界限，為希望所在的另一側打開無限大門。從Joar Nango到張培力，每位藝術家都貢獻了獨特的觀點，創造了一種強大而深刻的意識融合。

Dr. Wumen Ghua，蒙古裔畫家和策展人，常駐阿姆斯特丹。她的策展興趣圍繞著當今人類的善良和脆弱，反映了展覽，並表示：「這個展覽是一次尋找跨越多個宇宙及其個人意義的希望的嘗試。在這個可能破碎但寶貴的世界中，尋找希望之必要。」

在可能破碎的一切當下，我們正存在⋯

9天回歸，

是一個強烈的呼召，

比建造天地萬物又多了一點時間！

如果存在，是通過考驗而來，

那麼在我們消失以前，

我們所經歷的一切便將可以承受。

這將是一場意識的匯聚！

超越了時間與空間，向彼此靠攏

像所有的擦肩碰撞

造一個眼神。

—Birdy K

“希望的另一面／九天”是一個尋找多重宇宙中希望的群展，或許這些希望微不足道但卻充滿意義。這源於九天的希望探索與對最近越來越響亮的虛無主義聲音的談判。

九是最大的個位數，同時也是一個自我參照的數字：9x2=18, 1+8=9；9x3=27, 2+7=9；9x4=36, 3+6=9，如此類推。它既代表結束也代表無限，總是回到自身。在當今世界發生的許多危機中，我們很容易陷入絕望，認為我們正走向終點。但如果這是終點，它必然是一場夢。像數字9一樣，它不會迅速結束，我們總會回到自己尋找答案。

希望的旅程就像是一個無盡的循環，從我們生命的開始直到結束。我們沿著莫比烏斯環的螺旋路徑前進，從無意識的狀態到意識到我們的存在。在這段旅程中，我們經歷各種挑戰，如失落、悲傷、孤獨和暴力，並朝向覺醒前進。最終，我們回到旅程的起點。此時，我們準備離開這個世界，帶著唯一珍貴的禮物：生命提醒我們被愛的承諾，以及另一個地方的希望繼續。

希望的另一面是我們能夠忍受並生活在希望的另一面——九天的探索，注定如此。在這個或許破碎但珍貴的世界中，需要九天的探索。這次展覽的種子來自Birdy K.（郭采潔）的心靈花園，在音樂宇宙中探索可能性和奇特性。展覽的標題靈感來自Mola Oddity的最新專輯《希望的另一面》。每天的探索與專輯中的每首歌曲相遇。Birdy，專輯歌詞的作者，提供了她的文字、聲音和心靈，從一開始就培育了這次展覽。“希望的另一面／九天”匯集了來自不同領域、地點和文化背景的藝術家。它提供的不是一個終點，而是一個進入另一面的門口，看看我們還能給彼此多少。

Birdy K. @amberkuo2_019 , the founder of Mola Oddity, lends her lyrical prowess to the exhibition, infusing it with her words, voice, and heart.

“Other Side of Hope/9 days” is a group exhibition searching for multiverse hopes, perhaps unimportant but meant. It springs from a nine-day exploration of hope and negotiation with the nihilistic voice growing louder recently.

Nine is the largest individual number and also a self-reference number: 9x2=18, 1+8=9; 9x3=27, 2+7=9; 9x4=36, 3+6=9, and so on. It represents both the end and infinity, which always comes back to itself. With so many crises happening in today's world, it is easy to fall into despair and think that we are reaching the end. But if this is the end, it must be a dream. Like the number 9, it won't end quickly, and we will always come back to ourselves for answers.

The journey of hope is like an endless loop that we all go through from the beginning of our lives until the end. During this journey, we follow the spiral path of a Möbius ring, leading us from our unconscious state to the realization of our existence. We experience all kinds of challenges, such as loss, sorrow, loneliness, and violence, as we move towards awakening. Eventually, we come full circle, returning to the starting point of our journey. At this point, we are ready to depart from this world with the only precious gift from life: the reminder that we are loved; the promise of the other place continues.

The hope of the other side is why we can bear and live on the other side of hope—nine days of searching, meant to be. Nine days of searching are needed in a world that may be broken but precious.The seed of the exhibition was found in the mind garden of Birdy K. (Kuo Tsai-chieh), exploring possibility and peculiarity in the musical cosmos. The exhibition’s title is inspired by Mola Oddity's newest album, The Other Side of Hope. Each day’s search meets each song from the album. Birdy, the author of the album's lyrics, offers her words, voice, and heart to foster this exhibition from the beginning."Other Side of Hope/9 days" brings together artists from diverse fields, locations, and cultural heritages. It offers not a destination but a doorway to enter the other side, seeing how much we can still give each other.
