本展播放三部短片皆為蔡明亮近兩年全新創作。《西遊》與《無無眠》是「行者」系列短片的第六與第七部作品，李康生身穿紅色僧袍、光頭赤腳，以其獨特緩慢的速度行走在世界各地，彰顯一種失落已久的──唐朝玄奘徒步萬里西行取經的弘法精神。《秋日》是黑澤明御用場記、同時也身兼作家及製片人—野上照代女士的肖像錄。 本展覽採用極簡無裝置概念，讓影片作品中的城市影像和美術館原有的展場空間，在夜晚氛圍下緊密結合，並選用不同材料作為投影介質，紙糊屏幕的細微紋路與斑駁痕跡；金屬板如同賽璐璐般的通透質感，皆產生了不同的投影及觀看效果。為期四週的展覽舉辦了多場深夜講堂、音樂會及夜宿美術館活動，吸引眾多學生、民眾甚至親子家庭走進美術館，拓展了藝術參與及美感體驗的更多可能。

The three short films screened in the exhibition were TSAI Ming-Liang's latest works in two years. Journey to the West and No No Sleep are the 6^th and 7^th films in the Walking Series. LEE Kang-Sheng was dressed in a red robe, head shaved and barefoot. He walked to different places around the world in his very own unique pace, manifesting a long-lost spirit of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who journeyed to the West for his pilgrimage and preaching journey in the Tang Dynasty. Autumn Days was a portrayal of Teruyo Nogami, who was Akira Kurosawa’s script supervisor as well as a writer and movie producer.

According to Tsai: “The curatorial concept of the exhibition remains minimalist without employing any special installations. I purposely constructed the impression that the city in the film was immersed in the exhibition hall in the atmosphere of the late night. I chose various kinds of materials as the projecting medium. The papered screen showed subtle lines and mottled traces, whereas the metal projection wall displayed a sense of transparency reminiscent of celluloid. Both made a tremendously different effect for projecting and viewing. During the four-week exhibition, we held a series of midnight lectures, concerts, and museum-sleep-over events, which appealed to many students, the public, and even parents and children. The exhibition expanded the participation in art making and created more possibilities to experience beauty.”
