Over the opening weekend of his exhibition Tầm Tã – Soaked in the long rain, Trần Lương realised his first performance in Aotearoa.

This performance furthered the artist’s interest in engaging with different communities and contexts through acts of unconditional trust. Over two days, the artist was present at different locations in Ngāmotu with his head covered, simply waiting for an encounter to happen. Passersby were invited to guide the artist in any direction they wish.

The artist offered this open-ended proposition as a means of getting to know a new context intimately through exchange with, trust in and learning from those who live there. He states:

"On every meter of my life's journey, although I have seen a lot, how much have I truly understood. Each time I return to a place, at best I manage to "see" just a small hidden corner of life, which seems far too little compared to what I hope for.

I once tried to approach the places differently—rather than only looking and asking. This time, I am voluntarily giving myself to strangers along the way".
