MOU PROJECTS is pleased to present “Lime & Tangerine in a Wormhole,” Tap Chan’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Featuring 12 newly crafted bodies of work spanning sculptures, installations, and a double-channel video, the exhibition departures from an unfettered, enthralling hypothetical setting of two ordinary fruits inside a wormhole—a surreal, absurd possibility encapsulating Chan’s perception and fantasy of a scientifically uncharted world.

For Chan, the show’s centerpiece Distant Worlds (2022) embraces the understanding and investigation of the notion of parallelism. Comprising an identical pair of irregularly cylindrical stainless-steel objects placed on the floor, the work is based on the embedding diagram of a wormhole, which renders this hypothetical structure as a tunnel connecting disparate regions in space–time. Each resembling a halved tunnel, the two parts of the sculpture allude to the myriad possibilities of inter- and intra-connectivity among different and fluctuating realities. Situated at the center of the gallery with a distance between its two parts, the work transforms the space into an ambiguous point of intersection spanning two indefinite universes, where the viewers may discover the dual dimensions of all beings.
