Taiwan Temple Market 台灣便利神殿

2014, with Dale Albanese and team.

The Taiwan Temple Market brought two of Taiwan’s most ubiquitous spaces of interaction and exchange: temples and convenience stores.

Visitors approached the altars of contemporary Taiwan (embodied in gathered effigies from Matsu to former presidents; expanded throughout the week), to seek advice, guidance, and answers to all questions with a few swift throw of the crescent moon blocks.

Pilgrims also gathered around the adjacent convenience store to taste Taiwanese snacks and tea.
