뜩秊畇 / Multiple Leaves Written, 2023 - Parts 1 and 2 © Ouyang Yu

From the start of the artists’ collaboration in July, Ouyang began writing a series of new poems during his daily walks in Bundoora Park.

The exhibit presents two random selections of his 多叶写 / Multiple Leaves Written, Part 1, presented at the start of the residency and Part 2, presented at the culmination of the project.

The poems are sometimes written in Chinese, sometimes in English and sometimes in both languages.

Please explore the images below to find a selection of translations of the poems by Assistant Producer (Intern) Saskia Yeung. In some cases, we have also provided some insights from Ouyang on what he was exploring.
