Noir Feast in Venice
<\/b>By Vincent Noce, Special Correspondent in Venice<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Originally published in\u00a0Lib\u00e9ration<\/i> (France)
<\/strong><\/p>\n

The great Taiwanese chef and photographer Hsieh Chun-Te performs, twice a day, one of the most astonishing\u00a0<\/span>acts ever produced in the history of the Venice Biennale.<\/p>\n

If you’re visiting Venice in the coming months, take time to see the Palazzo Fortuny\u2014named after a Catalan\u00a0<\/span>painter and decorator who left this little palazzo to the city. It is now a small museum, preserving not only his<\/span>\u00a0paintings but also the breathless accumulation of curtains, Oriental tapestries, and ceramics that once adorned<\/span>\u00a0the artist\u2019s home and workshop. For the past six years, during each Biennale, Belgian antiques dealer Axel<\/span>\u00a0Vervoordt has turned the space into his personal cabinet of curiosities\u2014a blend of personal passion and<\/span>\u00a0professional endeavor. Over time, the objects shift, the works rotate. This year, the exhibition circles around a<\/span>\u00a0kind of emptiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s always something charmingly chaotic in his displays, offering moments of true beauty\u2014even if one\u00a0<\/span>might feel the formula is beginning to tire. The real current of madness, however, sweeps in from the side of<\/span>\u00a0the San Stae church, where a Taiwanese artist has taken up residence. The Museum of Contemporary Art in<\/span>\u00a0Taipei has given carte blanche to Hsieh Chun-Te\u2014a culinary director and photographer of rare vision\u2014who<\/span>\u00a0now stages, twice daily, one of the Biennale\u2019s most staggering performances, despite its long tradition of<\/span>\u00a0excess. Dominique Pa\u00efni, the French cinema historian who co-curated the project, remains visibly shaken. The<\/span>\u00a0artist even planted rice seedlings on site.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Concept of the Concept<\/b><\/p>\n

At the center of the installation, the artist serves a meal prepared on site\u2014this is food as art. Thin slivers of\u00a0<\/span>bottarga under translucent slices of radish. A sphere of black sticky rice, subtly infused with chicken broth. We<\/span>\u00a0are clearly within \u201cthe concept of the concept.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An 80-year-old shaman chants and recites her life. The daughter and granddaughter of shamans, she recalls\u00a0<\/span>being abducted as a child by a neighboring village to be sacrificed. Her community came to save her. The ritual<\/span>\u00a0was to culminate in her decapitation. On the ground, a young naked woman emerges slowly from a sheet<\/span>\u00a0soaked in blood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surrounding the performance are dark black-and-white photographs taken over a fifteen-year span in a suburb\u00a0<\/span>of Taipei undergoing intense urbanization. These images braid together the elements of the narrative: food,<\/span>\u00a0sacrifice, blood, sex, and death. Some photomontages, drawing on the sadomasochistic fantasies of Japanese<\/span>\u00a0eroticism, are hard to bear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dominique Pa\u00efni sees in Hsieh\u2014an artist he describes as \u201cextraordinarily cultivated\u201d\u2014references that extend\u00a0<\/span>beyond Japan to include Goya\u2019s black prints and the dark fascinations of Georges Bataille, particularly his<\/span>\u00a0unsettling obsession with unbearable images of female martyrdom in Chinese history.<\/span><\/p>\n

One does not walk away from this untouched.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

It is now a small museum, preserving not only his\u00a0paintings but also the breathless accumulation of curtains, Oriental tapestries, and ceramics that once adorned\u00a0the artist\u2019s home and workshop. For the past six years, during each Biennale, Belgian antiques dealer Axel\u00a0Vervoordt has turned the space into his personal cabinet of curiosities\u2014a blend of personal passion and\u00a0professional endeavor. Over time, the objects shift, the works rotate. This year, the exhibition circles around a\u00a0kind of emptiness.<\/p> <p>There\u2019s always something charmingly chaotic in his displays, offering moments of true beauty\u2014even if one\u00a0might feel the formula is beginning to tire. The real current of madness, however, sweeps in from the side of\u00a0the San Stae church, where a Taiwanese artist has taken up residence. The Museum of Contemporary Art in\u00a0Taipei has given carte blanche to Hsieh Chun-Te\u2014a culinary director and photographer of rare vision\u2014who\u00a0now stages, twice daily, one of the Biennale\u2019s most staggering performances, despite its long tradition of\u00a0excess. Dominique Pa\u00efni, the French cinema historian who co-curated the project, remains visibly shaken. The\u00a0artist even planted rice seedlings on site.<\/p> <p><b>The Concept of the Concept<\/b><\/p> <p>At the center of the installation, the artist serves a meal prepared on site\u2014this is food as art. Thin slivers of\u00a0bottarga under translucent slices of radish. A sphere of black sticky rice, subtly infused with chicken broth. We\u00a0are clearly within \u201cthe concept of the concept.\u201d<\/p> <p>An 80-year-old shaman chants and recites her life. The daughter and granddaughter of shamans, she recalls\u00a0being abducted as a child by a neighboring village to be sacrificed. Her community came to save her. The ritual\u00a0was to culminate in her decapitation. On the ground, a young naked woman emerges slowly from a sheet\u00a0soaked in blood.<\/p> <p>Surrounding the performance are dark black-and-white photographs taken over a fifteen-year span in a suburb\u00a0of Taipei undergoing intense urbanization. These images braid together the elements of the narrative: food,\u00a0sacrifice, blood, sex, and death. Some photomontages, drawing on the sadomasochistic fantasies of Japanese\u00a0eroticism, are hard to bear.<\/p> <p>Dominique Pa\u00efni sees in Hsieh\u2014an artist he describes as \u201cextraordinarily cultivated\u201d\u2014references that extend\u00a0beyond Japan to include Goya\u2019s black prints and the dark fascinations of Georges Bataille, particularly his\u00a0unsettling obsession with unbearable images of female martyrdom in Chinese history.<\/p> <p>One does not walk away from this untouched.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2011 Venice Biennale \u00a0\u201cThe Banquet of Hsieh\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Curator<br>Dominique Pa\u00efni<\/b><\/p> <p>(Critic, Professor at the Coll\u00e8ge de France, Former Director of the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Fran\u00e7aise, Former Deputy Director of the Centre Pompidou)<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Dominique-Paini-1000x630.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"630\" title=\"Dominique Pa\u00efni\" alt=\"Alfred Pacquement (R) Director of Mus\u00e9e national d'art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou Dominique Pa\u00efni(L)\"> Alfred Pacquement (R) Director of Mus\u00e9e national d'art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou Dominique Pa\u00efni(L)\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Gallery<\/h4>\n[gallery size=\"full\" link=\"file\" columns=\"1\" ids=\"5273,5264,5280,5271,5266,5281,5282,5283,5284,5285,5270,5274,5269,5267,5286,5265,5287,5268,5288,5272,5289\"]","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1643"}],"version-history":[{"count":135,"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8007,"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1643\/revisions\/8007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/01x10.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
