“O”

YANG Chung-Ming's work Timeless: 0 explores how clock face divisions measure time, with each mark symbolizing a fragment. Twelve portraits of Taiwanese bird species are presented in two ways: one forming a semicircle hinting at clock divisions, and the other arranged catalog-style. This suggests either a complete circle or a dispersed structure. Each bird's portrait is engraved on the underside of a watch face, where the clock's markings become blank spots, and the hole for the hands becomes the focal point of time. Featured birds include the Yellow Tit, Taiwan Blue Magpie, and Black Bulbul.
