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.

古石植物秘語：語言的另一種可能
by Plants, Wanlin Jiang
「古石植物秘語」 通過符號化黃岐古石村的植物語言，創造出一系列視覺檔案和裝置作品，反映黃岐古石村獨特的生物多樣性。
黃岐古石村的集群式石頭古厝不僅展現了獨特的建築特色，還與周圍的自然環境融為一體，形成獨特的鄉村景觀。不同植物在這裏與傳統建築和諧共存。
藝術家江宛霖在駐地期間，從古石村收集了大量當地特有植物，並對它們進行了記錄、分類、符號化，最終創作成人類可閱讀的植物文本，並借鑒科學家的研究方法，高效且準確地豐富了植物語言檔案，將古石村植物的復雜性融入藝術語言的多元表達之中。
目前僅呈現部分內容，後續還將持續研究梳理，生成更完整的古石植物檔案。
