The Secret Language of Plants in Gushi: Another Possibility of Language
by Plants, Wanlin Jiang
The Secret Language of Plants in Gushi symbolizes the plant language of Gushi Village in China, presenting a series of visual archives and installations that reflect the village’s unique biodiversity.
The cluster-style stone houses of Gushi Village not only feature distinctive architectural styles but also blend harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment, creating a unique rural landscape. Various plant species coexist seamlessly with the traditional architecture in this area.
During her residency, artist Wanlin Jiang collected a wide variety of local plant species from Gushi Village, recording, categorizing, and symbolizing them to create plant texts that are readable by humans.
By drawing on scientific research methods, she efficiently and accurately enriched the plant language archive, weaving the complexity of the village's flora into a diverse artistic expression.
Currently, only a portion of the work is being presented, with ongoing research and organization aimed at creating a more comprehensive archive of the plants of Gushi Village in the future.

古石植物秘语：语言的另一种可能
by Plants, Wanlin Jiang
「古石植物秘语」 通过符号化黄岐古石村的植物语言，创造出一系列视觉档案和装置作品，反映黄岐古石村独特的生物多样性。
黄岐古石村的集群式石头古厝不仅展现了独特的建筑特色，还与周围的自然环境融为一体，形成独特的乡村景观。不同植物在这里与传统建筑和谐共存。
艺术家江宛霖在驻地期间，从古石村收集了大量当地特有植物，并对它们进行了记录、分类、符号化，最终创作成人类可阅读的植物文本，并借鉴科学家的研究方法，高效且准确地丰富了植物语言档案，将古石村植物的复杂性融入艺术语言的多元表达之中。
目前仅呈现部分内容，后续还将持续研究梳理，生成更完整的古石植物档案。
